Connected Communities Big Conversation with communities

At Staffordshire University we want to help Stoke-on-Trent and Staffordshire to be a great place to live, work and study.

At Staffordshire University we want to help Stoke-on-Trent and Staffordshire to be a great place to live, work and study, one where our communities, students and colleagues can flourish. As the Connected University we want to join forces with our communities and our partners to collectively make a positive difference to our city and county.

We want to understand your ambitions for our city and county, our collective strengths and any actions you feel can help us to collectively reach our imagined future. We will use these ideas to help us to plan and co-create our future Connected Community Activity in partnership with others across the city and county. We invite you to an informal, online conversation where we will:

• Share with you our Staffordshire University Connected Communities approach and some of our recent Connected Communities work delivered in partnership with others.

• Hear your aspirations for Stoke-on-Trent and Staffordshire

• Understand our collective strengths

•Identify the challenges we face in taking action

• Invite you to be part of the Staffs CAN, the advisory network for our Connected Communities activity.

The meeting will take no longer than one hour, thirty minutes.
