Market in the Community: Student Competition

Church Street Neighbourhood Management and Paddington Development Trust have entered into a collaboration with the City of Westminster College and University of Westminster to offer students the opportunity to demonstrate their skills and innovation with a competition around the promotion of Church Street Market.

Students will be given a brief; "Devise proposals and recommendations for the promotion of Church Street Market". A judging panel made up of representatives from key stakeholders and sponsors will be responsible for picking a winner.

The successful student will win a cash prize and have the excellent opportunity of seeing his or her ideas put into practice in the promotion of Church Street Market.

Laura Hirst of the Centre for Excellence in Professional Learning from the Workplace states:

“This collaboration provides University of Westminster students an excellent opportunity for learning, through their contribution to their local community. Taking part in these sorts of activities, outside of their normal studies, usually gives students much greater confidence, and is an experience they remember long after they graduate. We are excited about the possibilities this partnership will bring, and look forward to supporting our students through some excellent live projects.”
