“Creativity isn’t just about ideas — it’s about action.

Because when education meets real-world challenges, we don’t just create. We transform.”

– Melissa Opperman, Manager of School for Life Long Learning

Red & Yellow is making an impact through research, teaching and learning, and additional community engagements.

Research

At Red & Yellow, research goes beyond academia — it drives real-world impact. Rooted in Engaged Scholarship (Boyer, 1996), we align Community Engagement with Research & Ethics to address social issues and community needs.

Through collaboration, we create knowledge that is meaningful, relevant, and transformative, bridging education and society for lasting change.

Teaching and Learning

This section indicates how community engagement is incorporated into curricula at Red & Yellow Creative School of Business.
The feedback received from lecturers on community engagement projects undertaken by students at Red & Yellow illustrate how community engagement is at the heart of our teaching and learning. The feedback focuses on projects completed during 2024.

Additional Community Engagements

Additional community engagements (also known as community impact) mean identifying needs and creating meaningful change. By partnering with organisations and initiatives, we foster real connections that drive transformation. Collaborating with students, we empower future leaders to actively support and uplift surrounding communities, ensuring our contributions are purposeful, lasting, and impactful.
