Overview

Our goal is to support the introduction of Warwick’s Values and Principles to incoming students in a way that is relevant to their everyday experiences.

While every learner arrives with some sense that these values or principles exist, and may have completed an online course as part of their registration, many are still unsure about what is expected of them. Not all questions and concerns can be resolved via the proposed activities, but they facilitate an opportunity to start a discussion and promote a sense of student community within departments.

This toolkit is relevant to those with responsibilities for planning academic induction activities (e.g. Heads of Departments, Directors of Student Experience, Directors of Undergraduate Studies) and those with an interest in Community Values education.

Activities are designed to be facilitated by staff within the department.

Activities are flexible and can be adapted to suit the needs of your department - use as little or as much as you like, or take inspiration and create your own. Not all activities will suit all departments (or facilitators) - we are happy to provide planning support if needed.
