What is the Changemakers programme?

The Changemakers are a group of CSM students who are employed to work in partnership with CSM’s programmes and departments. This partnership recognises that staff and students bring valuable perspectives, ideas, experiences, and expertise. The programme frames changemaking as a collaborative, professional practice that can take a range of forms, and supports Changemakers to contextualise and define their own changemaking practice(s) while contributing to teaching, learning and curriculum design at CSM.

As well as partnering with a project team, the CSM Changemakers will also take part in joint sessions with Changemakers from across UAL, forming a wider community of practice.

Who can apply?

Current CSM students on MA courses, or in the 2nd or 3rd year of a BA.

How is the programme different this year?

There are 5 Changemaker roles in 2023-24, and the programme will partner each Changemaker with a team working on an area of change at CSM. These areas are:

  • Digital teaching and learning
  • Technical teaching and learning
  • Staff development and training
  • Academic Support
  • Curriculum development in Employability, Enterprise, and Entrepreneurship

Why should students apply?

The Changemakers programme is a great opportunity to expand your professional portfolio and build experience and skills, while having a direct impact on teaching and learning practice at CSM.

The projects available in 23-24 will involve a wide range of skills and practices, from audience development and marketing to film and video production. If you want to explore changemaking through professional practice, this programme could be for you.

Where can I apply?

Through Arts Temps – via the CSM Changemakers vacancy advert, by 30 November.
