The Keynote Project
The 'Keynote' project aims to disseminate and embed good practice within curricula to enhance students (studying textiles / fashion and material) awareness for future employment and lifelong learning through a realisation of key skills: communication, information technology, numeracy, learning to learn and working with others. This Project will focus on discipline-specific areas of textiles, fashion and printing. It is designed to disseminate and embed existing good practice in developing key skills in the curriculum and preparing students for future employment and lifelong learning skills. Nottingham Trent University (NTU) will lead this bid in partnership with The London Institute (LI) and the University of Leeds School of Textile Industries (UL) [Consortium partners]. These institutions have been selected as they represent diverse groups of students and collectively have demonstrated excellence in the six areas of QAA subject review assessment.
