Learners and local businesses
We nneded to create a more engaging learning experience, so our students worked on projects through partnerships with local businesses and organisations. Projects included creating advertisements, social media campaigns, and logos. One project, connected event planners for the local theme park who were interested in having students create a logo to use in a specific event, for event advertisements and social media.
In each class, students arranged themselves in groups of four to five with at least one student with strong design skills in each group. Over a few weeks, each team collaborated to design a logo for the event. The panel of judges—the event planner and two other local business owners—determined the winning design. Students then wrote about their experience and reflected on the process. While the upfront work of partnering with community members takes some time and effort, the result of having deeply engaged students is well worth it.
Deep engagement, connections with local businesses.
