  17. Volunteering MMU?Volunteering MMU is a service based within MMU that is designed to develop volunteering opportunities for all students and staff. We contact local agencies and organisations in the not for profit sector to find out what volunteers they need, we then try to match these opportunities with people interested in volunteering Volunteering MMUhas created an online learning package which all MMU students and staff can access via our website. It will help you prepare to volunteer and reflect on the skills and experience you gain through volunteering,

  20. Project Outline This project involves taking art student volunteers into a number of schools trying to raise environmental awareness through producing evocative artwork. This will result in an exhibited installation culminated from art pieces created from unrecyclable materials, recording environmental issues using traditional photographic methods and other visual tools. The finished work will be curated and exhibited at the Manchester Metropolitan University Art Gallery in February. MMU student volunteers from different disciplines are delivering these workshops. - Sculpture and 3D design - Illustration / Fine Art - Interactive Art - Photography

  21. Sculpture Making pieces of art from un-recyclable materials ‘70% of what people throw away was not waste but is a valuable resource’

  22. Illustration / Fine Art Paintings and drawings about the environment. These can be their vision of a better world Who their environmental super hero would be what the perfect sustainable community would look like

  23. Photography Documenting parts of the community that need environmental attention. Could be rubbish dumps, high pollution zones, wasteland Or be parts of the community that are environmentally sound What they want to see more of Other examples… Pinhole cameras will be used for this

  24. Outcomes MMU students sharing transferable skills and gaining experience of working with children. Students will learn how to run a project in collaboration - understanding team dynamics and leadership skills. Pupils will learn more about their environment in a fun and creative way – communicating and sharing their experience with their families and friends. Supports public engagement within the community; MMU and schools. Helping to break down barriers to HE whilst raising awareness of the impact communities have on the environment. A toolkit is being developed alongside the project to sustain this enterprise as a student led initiative, increasing the amount of schools engaged in the project.

Background Manchester Event Volunteers A Commonwealth Games Legacy Programme • Local benefit was a key element in success of Manchester’s 2002 Commonwealth Games bid. • MCC established a team to implement and lead on maximising the opportunities for local people, particularly ‘hardest to reach’. • Volunteer force of some 10,000 individuals recruited,10% of which were from the Pre Volunteer Programme (30 hour training programme to engage with hard to reach groups). • Legacy - Post Games Volunteer project from September 2002.

Manchester Event Volunteers • PGVP used volunteer database to contact all those from the NW of England, of which 1,500 indicated a willingness to continue with volunteering. • PGVP evolved into Manchester Event Volunteers, offering a wide range of volunteering opportunities, not just event related. • Focus has changed to reflect funding – Manchester residents only, increasingly supports residents back into training and employment. • Since the Commonwealth Games, over 800 volunteers matched to opportunities. • Currently MEV has circa 1,000 active members, many new.
