Using a Communities of Practice model to contribute to community cohesion and self reliance

Abstract
This study explores the application of the communities of practice approach (CoP) to community-university partnerships (CUPs). A specific focus is whether forming CoPs might help struggling communities cope within an increasingly resource-stretched environment. Might they bring people together to solve common problems, overcoming differences in perspective brought about by specific organisational affiliations and personal backgrounds? Data includes: a literature review, semi-structured interviews and focus groups with CUP members, and Chicago fieldwork. Our study developed the research capacity of a local practitioner who shared the project's learning within his ethnic minority community and beyond.
Data analysis indicated the versatility of the CoP approach for individuals working in partnership across boundaries (for example voluntary, statutory and university sectors). Strikingly, our literature review shows little application of the CoP approach to CUPs, beyond our own limited work. In the literature, CoPs are critiqued for not dealing explicitly with inequalities; while they may offer space to address differences, there is limited analysis of how CoPs work through inter-group conflicts. However our empirical data revealed more potential. Given this promise, future research priorities include (1) empirical studies of CoPs designed to provide effective mechanisms for developing cohesion and learning, and (2) enhancing the role of community partners in co-production and community knowledge exchange.

| Title | Resilience House |
| Description | The 'Resilience House' was a creative exhibition that was shown at the Connected Communities Festival 2014 at the Motorpoint Arena in Cardiff. The 'Resilience House' exhibition showcased the various RCUK resilience related projects with which the University of Brighton and boingboing have been involved. Within the 'Resilience House' there were various areas that corresponded to the 5 key areas of the resilience framework and within these we displayed videos, posters, resilience guides and other artistic outputs. Young people with complex needs and mental health difficulties co-curated the event and they explained the outputs to the visitors and were also involved in interactive aspects of the house such as making a 'Resilient tablecloth' and making a 'Resilience cake'. |
| Type Of Art | Artistic/Creative Exhibition |
| Year Produced | 2014 |
| Impact | The festival ran for 2 days and on the second day, the 'Resilience House' was viewed by 135 people (accurate visitor statistics for day one are not available). Visitors to the stand asked questions about the projects that we have been working on and were keen to learn more about how we work with the various community partners. We have received requests to exhibit the 'Resilience House' at other conferences and events in the UK. The young people who co-curated and participated in the event have reported being more confident and they have experienced improvements in their mental health. Boingboing has appointed one of the young people as an artist in residence and they have a Visiting Fellowship at the University of Brighton. Other young people have been co-trainers at numerous events and a group of the young people are undertaking a cooperative research project on resilience. |

| Exploitation Route | This project has already influenced others to use the communities of practice approach in developing Community University Partnerships. The team involved in producing this particular report are frequently requested to deliver talks and workshops on this so others seem to find them useful or else we wouldn't be so inundated with requests for talks etc. A number of articles suggesting practical approaches to developing CoPs for Cups have been written which people can draw on. |

| Description | The study has led to many other people and organisations adopting a communities of practice approach to their work and considering the role of CoPs in Community University Collaborations. This ranges from STEM researchers and practice developers to people working in many health, education and social care contexts. The Big Lottery Fund's HeadStart programme has used the communities of practice concept in many of their local sites. The Imagine Project, an ESRC-funded Connected Communities Award has developed the CoP work started in this project and internationalised it. |

| Results and Impact | This interactive presentation was designed to complement the roll out of the guide 'Supporting children and young people in their mental health: A guide for schools'. It outlined how the need for the guide was identified and the process of co-producing it with a cross-disciplinary team, including young people with experience of unmet mental health needs as pupils. It provided an overview of how to use the guide in practical situations, with real life examples and case studies on how the Resilience Framework which underpins the guide, can be used to address specific issues for pupils and schools in which mental health needs are an underlying factor. 60 attendees reported a strong interest in the guide and future related activity in the form of additional projects with East Sussex County Council, (Boingboing's project partner) was planned. |

Through participatory exercises, the workshop explored themes relating to: creating collaborative spaces/places for community development; the role of community-based arts; and reclaiming Black history.
