CIRCLET CASE STUDIES

Find out how CIRCLET was run locally in the different partner universities. How did lecturers re-imagine their teaching to include (more) community engaged learning and research? What does it mean to be part of a local and/or international CIRCLET-community? How can community partners and students benefit from community engagement?

On this page you can find inspiring course practices from within the CIRCLET consortium. Each case study consists of a short teaser of the course. The hyperlink below the teaser leads to a detailled external page with plenty of in depth information. You will find out more about how the course was thought, which assessment methods were used, how students and community partners experienced the project, the different challenges that occured and how they were overcome. Most case studies offer clickable resources (ex. course sheets, content created during the project or reflection and learning materials).

We hope this resource can inspire you in the redesign of your own educational or research projects towards more and better community engagement!

Biomedical design students developed 3-d printed designs to support individuals and communities

Engineering

Advice you would give to someone starting a CERL project with students?

Just start, just do a CERL project. The project can grow legs then, and once it’s established you will develop other streams for the work, which makes it easier, as it’s less onerous to find ideas for new projects etc. Particularly in relation to technical projects, be very upfront with the community partner about the technical side, and what you hope they’ll actually get in the end. It’s not about a transactional relationship – you giving something finished and brilliant from a university to a person outside it – this is really a collaborative process, and they’ll be getting a first prototype, which can only be developed fully when their feedback is received, because their input is just as important as that of the professors and the engineers etc.

OPEN BOTANIC - DEVELOPING A CYCLING STRATEGY FOR BOTANIC AVENUE
Planning
Urban design

What do you think the benefit was to the partner? 

We worked with the Northern Ireland Government Department for Infrastructure Active Travel Group. This group is under-resourced and sometimes finds it hard to make its voice heard in a department which is mainly prioritises roads.  This group were pleased with the data collection and we then employed some of the students to continue outside the module with our engaged research seed funding. Forward South as the local partnership body in South Belfast were very positive, in particular they played a role in linking this work to the wider Public Health agenda. This has led onto other research opportunities with them which could have a stronger CERL focus.

BIOSCIENCE STUDENTS DEVELOPED A 'SWITCH ON STEM' EVENT WHICH CONSISTED OF BIOLOGY WORKSHOPS FOR LOCAL PRIMARY SCHOOL PUPILS

Bioscience 

Primary education 

51 students worked in 9 small groups to develop interactive resources and to deliver 10-minute demonstrations on a biology topic of their choice, which they had previously studied on their programme. Students had to guide the children in doing simple experiments, encouraging them to ask questions about the topics. Eg ‘Legos of Life’ was about DNA, ‘Happy Hearts’ was about exercise. The CERL project was worth 15% of the module assignment total. It was broken down into 10% for the infographic produced by the students for the primary school, and 5% for their individual reflection on learning.

HEALTH, DENTISTERY, MEDICINE

Pharmacy technician students co-designed fundraising events with community partners

Pharmacy Technician Studies

Advice you would give to someone starting a CERL project with students?

‘Be clear on what is the objective of the CERL project, and what the expectations of the students and the community organisation are, and what the output will be. If all that can be tied up at the outset, it will smoothly. Less is more – even if it’s just a couple of pages of a report in the first year, that’s sufficient, maybe you can build on it the following year. Don’t be too ambitious, take a step back, get the links going in year one, get the community organisation on board, and the students, then you can build on it the following year, I would say it’s a five-year project. Then you can do something different!’

SUMMARISE A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW OF DENTAL ISSUES IN PATIENTS WITH DEMENTIA
Dentistry
Medicine

The aim of the module is to introduce students to the importance of critically appraising different studies, different papers, different types of research.  A range of different staff teach on the module, and there is also teaching on statistics. After critical appraisal the students were to sum up the info as practical information that the community partner could apply to its users. Students were required to critically analyse a research paper (in this case systematic review paper).  The module refocused to carry out this critical appraisal on papers generated by a community partner.  The module lead was keen to see what a connection with community can produce.

SKIN CANCER AND SUNBED USE IN NORTHERN IRELAND
Biomedical Science
Medicine


This module is the capstone/dissertation module for the BSc. Biomedical Sciences and BSc. Human Biology degrees. It provides students with the opportunity to undertake a substantial piece of project work that will provide an introduction to scientific research, further develop their capacity for independent, analytical and critical thought and improve their application of technical/transferable skills. In the first semester students interpret and analyse the scientific literature around a specific question of relevance to biomedical or human biology research.  They produce a layperson mini review that provides a distillation of the science for the consumption of the educated layperson.  In the second semester students carry out a short, closely defined project and analysis of data that is directly linked or closely related to the scientific question posed in semester one.  At its conclusion they produce a final report in the form of a dissertation and give a presentation to a panel of subject experts. Changes in the wider curriculum and policy environment meant that they had the opportunity to come up with innovative projects not just based in a lab.

WEAVING SCIENTIFIC OUTREACH AND CERL INTO BIOMEDICAL SCIENCES AND HUMAN BIOLOGY CURRICULA

Biomedical sciences
Human Biology

What did the students learn or how did they benefit?  

The students often struggled with striking a balance between the theories of complex science and the ability to communicate these theories effectively to diverse audiences. They tended, on occasion, to veer towards language and applications which were too simplified, thus potentially alienating their target audience. One student commented:

The live sessions were quite enjoyable and allowed discussion between peers and organisers, it also enabled me to meet more people in the year. Study cycle 2 illustrated the need for public engagement and the messages scientists may need to put across when being interviewed by media outlets.” 

With respect to CERL, many students commented on the importance of being introduced to key research themes and topics before their final year of study. They felt that this meant that they were primed for the year ahead, having been able to engage with relevant content in advance of choosing their final year project. Another student commented:

Additionally, I found the research component very informative and it provided me with useful background information about research, before starting my final year project.”

How did students experience the course?

“It was complex and challenging to elaborate these many factors. I liked that we were assigned with a really important task instead of working on a fictional company’s fictional marketing campaign.”​

As an assistant professor, how did you look back on the course?

“I wish to believe the students got a better understanding of the possible roles of marketing communication, especially the role of communication practices in a non-profit environment.

Testimonial from a student:

“So far I didn’t have to work with external partners throughout my studies, but it was extremely exciting since it’s different when we learn about something at the university and when we use what we’ve learnt in real life and create value for companies trying to improve something for society on their own way. I appreciate this and I am very happy to have been part of it.

ECONOMIC STUDENTS DEVELOPED IDEAS FOR NEW OPPORTUNITIES FOR GAELIC ATHLETIC CLUBS TO GENERATE REVENUE POST COVID

Economics & Finance  

Economics of Strategy is the application of the economics way of thinking to management issues. In such an application not only are there challenges in developing and applying the economics tradition but also in seeing its limitations and interactions with other traditions within management learning.   This module aims to develop the participant’s ability to understand, evaluate and apply economics concepts, acquired in this and earlier courses, in a focused and critical way in the context of analysis of particular sectors and their firms. 55 students worked in 9 small groups. They each completed an economic analysis of new opportunities for Gaelic Athletic Clubs post-Covid, working with St John Bosco GAC. The club had lost many of their revenue streams due to Covid restrictions, and they wanted the students to explore alternative revenue sources.

Ideation on regenerative value creation with non-profits

Digital Disruption
BA in Business Informatics

Students working in groups of 5 must prepare a project description of non-traditional, regenerative value creation with outlines of a business plan. During the preparation they must co-create a visual explanation of the concept (video presentation). Each group must provide written feedback (at least 3 questions and 3 proposals) for the work of all the other groups. Each must indicate also which feedback was the most and the less useful for their further work. Then the groups prepare the PPT version and present their concept receiving feedbacks from the other groups and from the representatives of the partner organizations. Based on all the feedbacks in two weeks they have to finalize and submit the project description of about 1500 words.

POSTGRADUATE FINANCE STUDENTS DEVELOPED RESEARCH FOR THEIR COMMUNITY PARTNER TO USE IN A FUNDING APPLICATION

Economics & Finance  

Any challenges and how you overcame them?

At the beginning Lucía found it challenging to find a community partner. The module content is quite technical and is based on econometrics. She was worried about what value they could give to a community partner as often this particular area of work is misunderstood.  Lucía received a list of projects from ENFUSE and they seemed to be mostly based around marketing and management. They chose a community partner, a non-profit organisation called SPADE who are in the field of entrepreneurship.  The community partner had a shared kitchen facility and they wanted the students to develop research that they could use to secure funding.

SOCIAL CARE STUDENTS WORKED WITH A VARIETY OF NOT-FOR-PROFIT ORGANISATIONS IN THE AREAS OF MANAGEMENT AND LEADERSHIP

Social care leadership & management

What did your students learn or how will they benefit?

This should be a great opportunity for the students to ‘learn by doing’ and relate theoretical concepts to real life practice. For some students who have a lot of experience in one service (example, homeless services) they have the opportunity to work in a different area (for example disability services). Some students who return to a Master’s programme are looking for opportunities to change direction and this can give them an insight into the different services. The sharing of expertise with peers is important, linking to the UN Sustainable Goals. Particularly in relation to funding and commissioning work, students would rarely have the opportunity to work on this in practice, it would usually be an exercise on paper.

AWARENESS RAISING FOR SERVICE DOGS BY MARKETING STUDENTS

Creative Media Planning and Advertising

Marketing 

Challenges and how you overcame them?

It was not easy to understand the point of the community partner and to find partners with specific marketing communication projects and achievable goals. It also took time to fit their availability with the time schedule of the semester – which can be very different then the organization’s own time schedule. Finally, we agreed to have more pre-work (before the course) and actively worked together with the partner on the case and the presented marketing brief. At the same time, we asked Corvinus Science Shop to pre-select the possible partners for us and also to connect us with these partners and to support the first steps and meetings as professional “matchmakers”. The latter made it easier to understand different points of view and to find common ground.

TENDENCIES OF HOSPICE AVAILABILITY AND DIGITAL VULNERABILITY OF ELDERLY PEOPLE IN DIFFERENT COUNTRIES

Demographics

 

Increasing life expectancy and declining fertility lead to demographic ageing which is the 21st century’s dominant demographic phenomenon. Population ageing is fundamentally changing the countries of Europe as the relative and the absolute number of older people is increasing rapidly. Japan is the oldest and Korea the fastest ageing country in the world.

The class provides a broad overview of the global demography of aging, its impact on the economy, and welfare of the state by the example of European and Asian countries as well. We will explore patterns, trends, and projections of demographic ageing. The increasing share of older people brings with it sweeping changes in population needs as a silver consumer with potentially significant implications for older workers called silver workers, consumption, economic growth, and fiscal balance.

Student action with NGO on reducing taboos and othering

Decision Techniques
BA in Human resources, Business and management, Commerce and marketing, Tourism and Hospitality

What do you think the benefit was to the partner?

I think the community partner gained knowledge on the way of thinking and sense of responsibility of students nowadays studying at the Budapest Corvinus University, Hungary. They could use this knowledge in a communication campaign focusing on youth.
However, I have the feeling that the benefits and the outcomes for the partner should be more adequately planned and encouraged to come true. It is not an easy task, since the course is also based on the free will of the participating students and the freedom to choose, with all of its consequences and make decisions as a group using different decision-making techniques.

Students explore the impact of watching documentary film on inequalities
Bachelor in International studies, Political sciences, Communication and media

Our partner Northern Point of Support Association joined the course and met all students, and a group of 5 students chose to work with the partner as part of their course assignment. The students and the partner met regularly to discuss which topic to cover from the course and which short film to test. The students then conducted a focus group about one of the association’s short films highlighting the work of Bagázs, a non-profit organization working with and for Roma people, connected to the topic of education and inequalities. Students tested how the audience reacted to the film and how it influenced their opinion on the topic.

What did you change about your programme/course in relation to CERL during CIRCLET?

Before CERL during the course the students’ groups only needed to take an interview with somebody who is connected or affected or has and affect to their problem. It was just a one-way communication (and only one time) when the students had the possibility to get more information from somebody, who is more involved in that problem they were working on. Now for that group – who worked with the community partner – the world opened up and they had the possibility to dig deeper in their topic.
