Why: From empowering students and staff to collaborate, to supporting co-creation and impact in enhancement, to embedding partnership in quality assurance and enhancement processes, this event will be a chance to reflect on and consider the future of efforts to meaningfully foster student engagement and partnership.
Against a background of pandemic restrictions impacting on traditional programme delivery and the student experience, NStEP, StudentSurvey.ie and QQI believe a focus on the topic of student empowerment and partnership in decision-making has perhaps never been more timely.
Who: Students and staff from across higher and further education are very welcome to attend and to take part in this important dialogue.
