The University of Central Lancashire has scored a pair of Educate North Awards, with Burnley College and Edge Hill University securing a trophy each.
UCLan’s winning campaign ‘When it feels wrong, it's wrong’ highlighted unhealthy relationships and was created to help UK and international students identify when a behaviour or relationship is unhealthy.
Its Grenfell-Baines Institute of Architecture took home the trophy for the sustainable green initiative project ‘Wash Your Words’. Managed and delivered by academics Lee Ivett and Ecaterina Stefanescu, with arts organisation LeftCoast working with Blackpool Council and Blackpool Coast, the project has created a flexible space for the residents of the Mereside social housing estate in Blackpool by combining a library and laundry room.
Burnley College also won the Creative Arts Award, and Edge Hill's partnership with Everton won the Community Engagement Award.
The event, which took place in Manchester, attracted more than 400 education professionals from Further and Higher Education institutions from across northern England.
