CWELL is innovative in terms of its collaborative co-design, philosophy and governance structures, as well as the community-oriented teaching approaches it deploys. The programme was originally developed in a partnership between St Mary’s Parish and staff from UL Education and Health Sciences faculty. In 2018, the programme moved to the Faculty of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences (AHSS) and, with support from Limerick City and County Council, was expanded across the whole of Limerick city.
In order to ensure that the expanded CWELL programme retains its community-oriented ethos, CWELL is supported by a network of community partners and supporters across the city including representatives from local residents, schools, adult education groups, community service groups, higher education, and local business / social enterprises. In addition to supporting CWELL students and local community projects, the network of CWELL community partners provides a forum for local communities to represent their interests to UL, ensuring respectful and reciprocal codes of practice apply to UL / CWELL community projects, partnerships and relationships.
Over the course of the two-year programme, students gain relevant professional skills and academic training designed to promote both personal and community development. Following a foundational first year, the key component of the second year is the programme’s facilitation for student teams to design and deliver a project to address a community identified need. In collaboration with community partners, CWELL students are guided through a series of practical steps and skills acquisition to carry out real-life community consultation and project design from start to finish, leaving a lasting legacy to their participation in the programme.
CWELL is open to anyone over the age of 18yrs. Applicants are expected to hold a Leaving Certificate. Applicants who do not hold a Leaving Certificate may apply if they hold the University of Limerick Mature Student Access Certificate (MSAC) or equivalent. In addition, students who have completed a relevant education course (e.g. Fetac Level 6) may apply. Applicants who have completed work experience may also submit a portfolio to be considered for recognition of prior learning (RPL) demonstrating their ability to succeed on a Diploma Programme (Level 7).
