摘要:HEIs are well placed to engage with local communities, and can
connect students with organisations through several pathways, such
as volunteering opportunities, placements, internships, or projects. The
University of the West of England, Bristol (UWE), the University of
Bristol and their respective Students’ Unions have been working in
partnership with the city and local communities, using HEFCE Catalyst
funding to promote student involvement in sustainability activity during
Bristol’s year as European Green Capital. The Green Capital Student
Capital project has created a broad programme of citywide impact
through mobilising the enthusiasm of the city’s student body. It
delivered a wide-ranging programme of engagement in city sustainability
and in so doing developed skills, knowledge and attributes in
the student body that support the development of graduate attributes
and a more sustainable lifestyle. The project demonstrates how institutions
can collaborate across cities and communities to have internal
and external impacts for sustainability.
