ceth Projects

ceth has funded a wide variety of projects with the aim of developing employability skills and fostering links within UCLan and the wider local community. UCLan colleagues are invited to submit project proposals through funding calls that inform the development of employability in the curriculum, modify delivery/assessment practice and/or provide students with evidence of work related activity resulting in a heightened understanding of employability. Project applications are assessed against the ceth vision and objectives to ensure that any successful projects are working alongside the ceth ethos. Successful projects embed, highlight and/or enhance the development of employability within the curriculum. 

ceth Visionuclancreative

By 2010 ceth will have enabled all programmes in the Faculty of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences to offer students a variety of opportunities to develop, evidence and articulate their own particular employability.

The People's History Museum, Manchester

The People’s History Museum (PHM) is a world class national independent museum on the social history of working people in Britain located at the Pump House, Manchester. ceth students worked with the museum to publish various books, including Battle for the Ballot - The struggle for the vote in Britain, and a book about the Pankhurst family and the suffragette movement.

Development of Dress & Textile Collection

The initial project was devised to create a substantial collection of dress and textiles at UCLan. The project created a source of items using student support to develop the resource. The collection increased creative opportunities for teaching and learning by using the collection as an interdisciplinary form of teaching and research. The second phase of the project was to develop the Fashion Collection website which was finished in summer 2008.

Fashion session

Fashion taster

40 North West college students and their tutors attended a ceth Fashion taster session, and made fantastic headwear. The days were designed and organised to show the linear progression of the fashion industry moving from research and development through design and into promotion.

Through the Looking Glass Journal

This project was funded by ceth to develop the journal and enable the first 2 issues to be published. The first issue was published in 2007. 350 students on the research module of the PG Cert programme administered through UCLan partner colleges undertook action research and 20 were encouraged to publish work in the completed first issue of the journal.

Commemorating Abolition

The "Commemorating Abolition" project was sponsored by ceth in 2007. The project aimed to raise public awareness of the 200th anniversary of the abolition of slavery in Britain, celebrated in 2007.
