Reimagining impact: entrepreneurial education that makes a difference

The desire to make a difference sits at the very heart of the University of Leeds’s strategy. Its ambition is to train the next generation of global citizens and leaders – educating the problem solvers, innovators, collaborators and critical thinkers who can tackle big issues. Richard Tunstall explains how connecting students to real-world experiences opens up their confidence as active problem solvers, and provides communities with a creative resource.

Connections matter, and they matter in how we learn, not only through our sharing of knowledge, but in our sharing of experience – what’s known as ‘social learning’.
