PUBLIC LIFE
• Developing a shared communications strategy for visibility and reputation building with the public, focused on transparently telling the story of the Civic Agreement’s impact and in turn, shifting residents’ perspective on their town and the contribution of the two institutions.
• Modelling shared civic leadership and growing the next generation of civic leaders through collaborative voluntary placements and a capability offer for aspiring civic leaders and mentors within and outside of the University. • Planning for curriculum change with place-sensitivity in mind encompassing lifelong, modular learning, a new skills improvement strategy and building employment opportunities into the University curriculum. • Creating ongoing structures for community engagement around this Civic Agreement and both the University’s and the Council’s strategies. The Talk Listen Change (TLC) methodology (a culturally competent approach to co-production) can form the basis of this process and ensuring best practice in how all parts of the Luton system can use TLC as the norm, and not the exception, when working with local communities.
