Chromaleon Co-Creating for Impact - Students as Co-Creators Project @ The University of Westminster
Welcome to our Students as Co-Creators project. This initiative was launched by Dr. Christa Sathish in September 2024 as part of the University of Westminster’s Students as Co-Creators division and collaborates with Positive Academia. Its main goal is to put students at the center of their own learning journey, working with academics and a wide range of university stakeholders both inside and outside the institution to develop ideas, practices, and outputs that matter beyond the classroom. Together, we build knowledge and resources that support students’ personal and professional growth while contributing to broader societal conversations about employability, technology, diversity, equity, inclusion, and social responsibility.
As co-creators, students are not merely participating – they are collaborators and act as change-makers from within. By engaging in this project, they will:
- Build employability skills through reflective practice, collaboration, and development of their professional (online)presence.
- Contribute to equality, diversity, and inclusion by voicing and highlighting multiple perspectives, challenging biases, and amplifying marginalized individuals.
- Promote social responsibility by linking academic learning with real-world challenges that affect individuals, communities and organizations.
At Chromaleon, we believe that learning is most impactful when it is co-created, shared, inclusive, and connected to meaningful outcomes. Together, we will engage in the co-creation of knowledge that benefits students, enriches the university experience, and makes a positive impact on society.
Creating Positive Impact for Teaching and Learning @University of Westminster: Visiting the National Museum of Computing at Bletchley Park
It was field trip time for our Master level students of the Multi Platforms Communication Module (2023-2024)! Together with Asher Rospigliosi Pallavicini, we visited the National Computing Museum at Bletchley Park. Many thanks go to Dr. Richard Berry (Head of the School of Management and Marketing) who agreed to fund the trip and Josh Scott from the Wellbeing Support Team who assisted me with all the administrative tasks! You made this enriching experience possible, and it would not have happened without you 😊! Many thanks also go to Aisha Dhama who assisted and supported me with various tasks during the trip. I am very grateful for your help, and it made a very positive impact on my own experience 😊
