Imperfect by Design: A Bartlett Celebration of Engagement is a participatory showcase of the many ways Bartlett staff and students engage with public groups to generate impact, improve our research, teaching and learning, and make a positive difference for the lives and work of our partners.
The focus of Imperfect by Design is on the processes of engaging with people and groups outside of academia; the successes, the failures and the lessons learnt along the way.
The event will include lively demonstrations of engagement activities and opportunities for networking; we will share how Bartlett staff and students work with public and community groups, the outcomes of this engagement, and the unexpected and imperfect approaches we take to engage. Refreshments will be provided.
