Opportunity at DMU 

STaRS Project (Siblings together are really stronger) 

We are looking to recruit two third year students, one with Art/animation skills and one with IT/gaming skills to help in a co-creation workshop in August/Sept 2021.    Students will be paid for their help. 

This is part of a research study called STaRS (siblings together are really stronger) working with a small group of 11-15 year old siblings of children with a life limiting condition. Phase 1 we will be running a focus group to get ideas as to what the teenagers would like to create and then in phase 2 we will aim to create a prototype package of support.

Successful students will need to register through Unitemps and because of the nature of the workshop will have to have a DBS check, which will be funded via the project. 

If you have skills in animation and IT/gaming and want to find out more about the study please either contact Helena Dunbar hdunbar@dmu.ac.uk or Tania Hart tania.hart@dmu.ac.uk
