Learn OpportunitiesThe School of Art & Design at Nottingham Trent University is a collaborative, multicultural community of over 3,500 creative minds.
Further to a successful trial earlier in the summer, the School is establishing a permanent platform for NTUJoin, a creative online community initiative for all students to connect, with each other and with the outside world.
In a challenging and changing environment, this non-curricular digital space aims to enable, empower and encourage young creatives from every course area to interact with their peers, for positive personal and community purpose.
Spanning sessions of collective interaction, collaboration, advice, questions, humour, challenge and celebration, NTUJoin will offer a weekly series of activities, events and opportunities to explore new ways of thinking, creating, innovating and inspiring. Not only does this give students a chance to connect across an extensive creative community, the aim is to link them with academics, industry partners, creative practitioners and beyond.
Are you a member of the wider Nottingham creative community who would like to know more?
Interested professionals and practitioners can get involved with NTUJoin during this academic year – spanning November 2020 through to July 2021.
The ask is for up to an hour and a half of your time, to share insight, ideas, new thinking, advice, inspiration and opportunity with the creative community online. Dates and timings are flexible; sessions can involve individual leads or small groups, and support with software set up and facilitate can be given where needed.
Sessions should have an element of interactivity, so that the student community can get involved, respond, question, react and act. The focus of content, subject area and approach is open to ideas and creative suggestion; this is an open space for chat and exchange around any subject from the global right through to the personal, with the aim of bringing creative people together during a time of greater physical separation.

If you have an idea and would like to explore ways of getting involved, please contact maggie.burnett@ntu.ac.uk, Strategic Partnerships Manager (Creative and Digital), to find out more.
