Service Learning Social Impact Project Showcase Event
University Social Impact Projects address five significant social justice issues faced by vulnerable communities. Initially designed to address Mental Health and Wellbeing, we soon realised this was a much larger issue intersecting across a number of social justice issues including homelessness, digital inclusion, the environment, and people of all abilities. Bringing Community Partners, self-advocates, student Interns and the University together to work collaboratively in innovative solution design sprints, we set out to contribute in some small way to improving these social issues. We would like to invite you to a special showcase of the project outcomes, and hear from our community partners.
Join us on Thursday 1 October 2020 at 10.30 am to 12.30 pm for the Social Impact Project teams showcase the outcomes achieved through these Online Innovation Solutions Sprints.
