Register for the first UCL Student Partnerships & Voice Conference

Let's get together for lightning talks, poster presentations, and keynotes from across UCL, as well as the launch of the new strategic direction for ChangeMakers to take us to our 15th Anniversary in 2030. 

On 22 June, 12–6pm in South Cloisters, Bloomsbury campus. 

We will also be digitally publishing papers for people who are unable to present at the in-person conference.  

A chance to reflect 

The theme for the conference is: Shaping the Future of Student Partnership & Voice Through Reflecting on the Present & Past.  

Since the inception of UCL ChangeMakers over ten years ago, student experiences, perceptions of Higher Education, and the tools available have significantly changed. It is important for us to understand the key principles and practice of effective student partnership, co-creation, and voice so that we can meet new opportunities and challenges on the horizon.
