An Imperial Alumna discusses real-world learning impacts for participants in the 'Dear Change Maker' Project.

In the Change Makers' latest , Emma Skitt, an expert in the business sector, reflects on Dear Change Maker and how it could play an important role early in the career of high-potential ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½.

"I loved that this project focused on individuals’ experiences as they learned (learning = change, always) and gave them a way to make sense of this through both visual and tactile (slower-than-normal-world) connection. It takes people out of their familiar processing mode so they experience a change whilst reflecting on change. Very cool. Also loved the connection to another human being – so the creator was seen more “fully” and the relationships developed through the process." - Emma Skitt

Dear Change Maker was a 2019-20 student-led project set up by Dr Mark Pope which paired ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½ taking different Change Maker modules, exchanging weekly postcards about their learning experience. 

"As with any postcard, the ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½ used the two sides to communicate, with text on one side and a picture on the other.  However, unlike regular postcards, the ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½ created the picture side of the postcard themselves. It resulted in a unique set of correspondence that articulated and depicted four ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½’ educational experiences during this challenging academic year." - Dr Mark Pope
