Compassionate Curriculum Network

Join a growing community of students and staff working together to facilitate belonging, wellbeing and compassion across higher education.

The Compassionate Campus Network brings together people from the University of Leeds and beyond —students and staff alike—to explore how we can support belonging, mental health and wellbeing through education and everyday campus life.

Whether you're involved in teaching, learning, support, or simply passionate about creating a more compassionate university, this network is for you. Share your experiences, challenges, and ideas—whether they’re small tweaks or big changes.

What’s happening in 2025/26?

 Starting September 2025, our monthly Compassionate Campus Conversations return with a new format:

• Part 1: A focused, facilitated discussion on a member-suggested topic
• Part 2: Small group conversations to reflect on personal experiences and practical challenges

You might be curious about how curriculum design, assessment, timetabling, or student support can better promote wellbeing—or want to reflect on your own experience of studying or working in higher education. These conversations are a space to connect, learn, and grow together. All monthly conversations will be online via Teams.
