Get involved in 21C as an external partner
Becoming involved in 21C as an external partner will not only transform education at Western, it’s a decision that will add value to your business or organisation. You can partner with us in different ways: by setting cutting edge projects for students that solve a problem you’ve identified; by co-creating curriculum resources; by adding your expertise to the teaching and assessing of our students; or by hosting genuine internships. These are just some examples of how you can get involved. If you would like to find out more please email us or get in touch with our team of Curriculum Challenge Champions.
Get involved in 21C as a student partner
At Western, we are designing new curriculum – innovative Curiosity Pods and Sub-majors – not just for students, but with students. Student Curriculum Partners have been involved in co-designing and co-developing curricula with staff and external partners from industry, community, government etc. We are not only interested in the student voice, we are keen to be in an active partnership with students to create and renew our curriculum. We have an existing group of students that have been working with us since 2017 and you can see the work they’ve been doing (opens in a new window) . In the second half of 2021, the 21C project will launch a new Partnership XChange Hub to invite even more staff and students to get involved. For additional information, email us.
