Creative Futures Innovation Toolkit

This research project aims to enhance entrepreneurial competencies among students within the Faculty of Business and Law through the development and implementation of an ‘Innovation and Creativity in Teaching and Learning Toolkit.’ The toolkit will comprise a range of guides for activities, lessons, and teaching case studies that support the development of key enterprise and entrepreneurial skills. The methodology includes a mixed-method approach involving a review of existing practices, the establishment of a Community of Practice, and the creation of a comprehensive toolkit. The project will be piloted within a Level 5 unit to assess its effectiveness in enhancing student competencies, using pre- and post-intervention surveys.

The expected outcomes include the identification of best practices, the development of innovative teaching resources, and the establishment of a sustainable Community of Practice focused on creativity and innovation in education. The anticipated impact includes improved student readiness for the workforce, enhanced teaching practices across the faculty, and sparking a more innovative and creative mindset among both students and staff. This project aligns with the faculty’s strategic aims and supports the development of an inclusive and future-focused curriculum that equips students with the tools to thrive in rapidly changing markets.
