We're thrilled to launch a new brand new project for the NCCPE. 'Convening Knowledges' brings together practical and theoretical knowledge, and the people who hold it, on topics relevant to public engagement in higher education. Our first topic is Community Advisory Boards (CABs). For this, we partnered with The Community Cast, who explored the CABs through a series of podcasts. You can listen to the podcasts, and read more about the project at: https://lnkd.in/efpU36rn We'd also love to hear your thoughts, experiences, questions and suggestions! Thanks to NCCPE Project Manager Sian Aggett and The Community Cast's Nicola Gratton and Adam Gratton for bringing this project to life. #PublicEngagement #HigherEducation #Community #EngagedResearch #Podcast #NewReport
