The HEA Students as Partners in Practice Conference (Nov 2012) defined “students as partners” as: “Involvement of both parties at all stages and levels of decision making; Students having an active part in their experience rather than being passive learners; Advising each other as equals; Students getting involved and making a difference”.

Some Initial Responses Ann: “I was surprised by having to hand in one essay, because I was unsure how it would work, but after hearing more about it I like the idea and how everyone really needs to work together, not to let each other down”. Bill: “I really think by getting everyone to contribute, it will help others that struggle with essays and we can all help each other out”. Cath: “good way to interact with classmates and begin our course…”. Don: “unaware of how much work other peers will put in”.

ICOM: Museums are “in the service of society and its development, open to the public…for the purposes of education, study and enjoyment”. Cardiff Story Museum (est. 2004): “…giving the local community a sense of place, an introduction to their history, and a place to record, share and preserve memories”. “…rich in stories, objects, photographs and film telling the history of Cardiff through the eyes of those who created the city – its people”. “Help us tell your city’s story”.

Comments regarding researching objects in Cardiff Story Museum collection Dave (at introduction): “Loving the live project as it means that our time and effort will go towards something that makes a difference (not a normal research project that is graded and then forgotten)”. Liz (at hand-in): “I really enjoyed the project. I like the idea that your research and information you found actually goes to the museum so it could be documented”.
