This paper aims to showcase a small-scale collaborative project commissioned by Amnesty International to work alongside International students on a commercial brief.

The project aims to challenge notions of curricular and extra-curricular space and encourage genuine inclusivity within the learning environment. Working across two sites, students engage in an alternative approach to the use of their current learning spaces at Mare Street, and are offered tutorial support off-site Amnesty HQ. Industry specialists work alongside academic staff throughout and outcomes are assessed across the two spaces; in a critique at Mare Street and an exhibition at Amnesty HQ.
