We aim for Sheffield Hallam to be known as not just a University, but as somewhere children and families are welcome to visit, explore and engage in activities.<\/p>\n<p>Community Engagement provides a key opportunity to interact and work with students and their families outside of the formal school environment.

For each hour students spend at a &#8216;Learning Destination&#8217;, they collect one credit.<\/p>\n<p>By adding value to time spent at activities outside of the school environment, the Children&#8217;s University aim to encourage young people to learn in their own time. By collaborating with the Children&#8217;s University, we too are taking on the ideology that learning is not just for the school environment but should take place, and be enjoyed, outside of the classroom.<\/p>\n<p>We hope to see you there!<\/p>\n<p>*<em>This post was written by Clarissa Allford from the WP and Outreach Team at Sheffield Hallam<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Thursday 2nd and Friday 3rd November, the Sheffield Hallam University Outreach team will build on our previous community engagement successes by heading to the Moor Market to hold two days of activities, where young people aged 5 &#8211; 13 can get crafty with bonfire themed art and crafts, take part in brain teasing word &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.shu.ac.uk\/outreach\/2017\/10\/16\/shu-outreach-to-bring-a-spark-of-excitement-to-the-moor-this-half-term\/\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">SHU Outreach to bring a spark of excitement to the Moor this half term<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2637,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"wds_primary_category":0,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[21,3,18],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-155","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-childrens-university","category-outreach","category-pre-16-engagement","no-featured-image"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p9CClw-2v","jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":210,"url":"https:\/\/blogs.shu.ac.uk\/outreach\/2018\/02\/19\/shu-got-talent\/","url_meta":{"origin":155,"position":0},"title":"&#8220;Have SHU Got Talent?&#8221;","author":"Matt Lawton-Hunt","date":"February 19, 2018","format":false,"excerpt":"This Thursday and Friday\u00a0the Sheffield Hallam University Outreach team will be taking over the Winter Gardens with a variety of exciting, interactive and free activities for children over half-term and is asking them: 'Have SHU got talent?'
