Working with schools: active citizenship for undergraduate students

This project will identify how student perspectives on citizenship can be enriched through the practical experience of working with disadvantaged young people. It builds on the 2003-04 C-SAP project carried out at BCUC 'Embedding Citizenship in the Undergraduate Sociology Programme'. The project was thoroughly evaluated and it has proved to be a model of good practice in experiental learning for social science students. The current proposal aims to capitalise on the momentum generated by this work and to establish a network of HE institutions that can collaborate on similar projects and share good practice.
