Abstract

This presentation discussed the partnership that was built between BBC Bristol and the UWE photography programme, which saw students working with BBC staff on the 'More Than Words' festival, producing imagery across the city. Reflections on the successes and challenges of partnership working; how the experience was from both sides; the fine balances between ensuring pedagogic value with real world outcomes; the flow of communication; managing and exceeding expectations; and positioning such work extra-curricular or in-curricular contexts.

Presenting this paper were those from all sides of the partnership, including academic staff, BBC producers and one of the students involved.
