2020-21 Responsible Futures Host Partnerships
We are delighted to announce that De Montfort University and De Montfort Students' Union and the University College of Estate Management and Student Representatives have been selected as the 2020-21 Host Partnerships for Responsible Futures.
Host partnerships play a leadership role in the Responsible Futures programme. These accredited partnerships apply and are selected each year to share their good practice and support other partnerships' learning and achievement of the RF accreditation. For many new partnerships, the support of those who have achieved accreditation can provide useful tips and guidance and for those more established partnerships, the sharing of ideas, successes, and challenges as a part of a cohort forms a key part of the programme.
Responsible Futures national cohort support 2020-21
Our webinars, workshops and support days are available for any staff, students and student officers at participating partnerships. For joining instructions or to enquire about participating, please contact the Responsible Futures team.

| 28th January 2021, 11.00am - 12.30pm |
Webinar: 'Decolonising DMU' De Montfort University will share their experience of the emergence of a high-profile institution-wide Decolonisation project (‘Decolonising DMU’), which is one of few such HE initiatives that addresses not just racial inequalities in degree outcomes and the contents of the taught curriculum, but also the activities and culture of the institution as a whole.
The session will be of interest for anyone involved with or considering initiating similar work, sharing key lessons about how to build momentum, trust and engagement amongst staff and students.
The scope and activities of the work also have parallels with the delivery of Responsible Futures initiatives (addressing formal, informal and hidden curricula) and the session will also touch upon how co-operative linkages have been forged between Decolonisation and Sustainable Development project work.
Decolonising education institutions is imperative in achieving climate justice through Education for Sustainable Development. We are excited to support Responsible Futures partnerships in engaging with this work! |
