Welcome to the Community Noticeboard, the newest part of the Community Research Initiative (or CRIS to our friends). As a UCL student, you can browse through the ideas that we’ve collected from our local and wider London voluntary & community sector. Our neighbours. These ideas represent what local charities, community or citizen groups considers most important, right now, to further what they do, fill a knowledge gap, or change and improve something for some of the most pressing social issues.
This is the start of your participatory dissertation journey! This is knowledge democracy!
If you are looking for dissertation inspo, you might just find it here. Read the ideas below and use the expression of interest button to explain why you are interested and what experience or skills you can bring to develop the idea into a project… and your dissertation. If the Community Research Initiative is all new to you but you like what you are reading, make sure you also use the Get Skilled button to access the student skills development materials.
Favourite this tab and don’t forget to check back during January and February because new ideas will be added each week.
