AHRC Refugee Transition Network Activity

The Refugee Transition Network will launch an online Student Companion Resource in the summer of 2024.

The resource will feature 18 good practice cases, including 10 by academics and practitioners, as well as student projects from four higher education institutions across Indonesia and the UK. It will be available in two languages: English and Bahasa. The aim is to share collaborative creative methods for engaging vulnerable communities.

The Refugee Transition Network project includes a pedagogical component. We have found that, although academic journal articles and project reports are published across disciplines and sectors for a range of audiences, there is a lack of learning resources for students and practitioners focused on careful and collaborative creative methods to meaningfully engage vulnerable communities.

In response, we are currently developing this online Student Companion Resource that compiles a range of good practice cases and lessons from academics and practitioners working with communities to co-create solutions for complex problems.

The Student Companion Resource will highlight eighteen short, good practice cases focusing on creative methods for community engagement. Ten of these cases are produced by academics and practitioners, and ten are postgraduate student projects that responded to the Transition Living Lab for displaced youth.

This resource will be published in English and Bahasa for postgraduate students and early career researchers.
