Community engagement

Through LSBU’s Widening Participation unit our Tourism programme has been actively involved in the London Lifelong Learning Network. We have developed this further and are now starting to deliver level 4 modules in schools and colleges.

The Local Economy Policy Unit (LEPU), which has close links with UELS, provides a forum where academics and practitioners interact to develop a generation of economic development professionals. A number of the department’s staff play a key role in producing the acclaimed Local Economy journal on social policy.
