Last Year Our Students Said… This year We Did…
“If it is going to be a Creative Industries (CI)
training week why was no representative
included for the other Creative Industries
societies?”
We invited the full Creative Industry Zone
Clubs & Societies to attend. This added to
the diversity in the room & began building
the CI Zone through collaboration.
“Performing Arts were already more than
prepared before this week and we felt that it
wasn’t overly useful to us as it still felt
tailored to be a Media training week.”
Re-addressed the balance through an
agenda that was appropriate to our
audience. Offering completely new sessions
different to last year. Offering tailored
specialist sessions for different groups to
complement e.g. Trip to Echo
“I feel it should be more inclusive.” We spent a full afternoon exploring
inclusivity & what it meant for the CI Zone
“More on working with SUSU and what
SUSU can do for you”
We had various SUSU guest speakers to
share what they can do to help students
