Poster 3:

Navigating Meaningful, Authentic Learning through Partnership-Driven Pedagogies and Cross-Sector Collaboration

Benjamin Chong (University of Leeds, UK)

This poster presents an interactive timeline demonstrating how my partnership‑driven teaching evolves into an authentic and socially-engaged model of learning. It illustrates how design thinking, reflective practice, and justice‑oriented approaches concretely shape activities, co‑developed with external partners, supported by stakeholder dialogue and student‑initiated networks. Viewers will experience how these collaborations extend learning beyond core disciplinary knowledge into ethical reasoning, sustainability awareness, and responsible professional values. The showcase highlights the iterative refinement, learning and adaptation, and reveals how all these strengthened the community across staff, students, alumni, and industry— contributing to external recognition for my teaching programme and its impact.
