TRANSCRIPT
The program provides a practical and innovative model that enables
students to enrich their learning experience through participation in broader
communities. Linkages between the University and external communities
facilitates community development and interaction.
Community-based projects are carried out by students through their subjects
under the supervision of academics. The Shopfront has a broad skills base
with access to all seven UTS Faculties. These are: Arts and Social Sciences;
Business; Engineering and IT; Design, Architecture and Building; Law;
Health; and Science.
UTS Shopfront is also continuing to develop its research activities. As with
all Shopfront’s work, research priorities are identified by the community.
Research inputs and skills are important to community groups and
organisations. The Shopfront continues to develop its research activities
to address needs, concerns or questions that are raised by the Shopfront’s
community partners.
In 2012 the UTS: SOUL Award was introduced. The Award develops social
responsiveness and leadership skills by connecting students to the local
community and encouraging volunteering and participation.
UTS Shopfront is a non-profit program that provides services free of charge to
the community. All donations are tax deductible.

BACKGROUND AND
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
UTS Shopfront has been working
with community organisations for
sixteen years. During this time, 700
projects — involving 2500 students,
over 70 academics and all of the
University’s faculties — have been
successfully completed. The outcomes
have been rich and rewarding for
all involved. Community groups
have seen projects brought to
fruition that might otherwise have
remained dormant. Students have
had the opportunity of applying
their knowledge and skills in socially
beneficial and academically rigorous
ways. And academics have been
able to reinforce their relevance in
a dynamic social and educational
environment. The overall excellence
of the Shopfront’s work has most
recently been recognised through
its shortlisting for the MacJannet
Prize for Global Citizenship. It is
also regularly approached for advice
on community engagement by
universities and other institutions
both in Australia and overseas.
UTS Shopfront continues to develop
its research focus on community
engagement. It has established
research publications, one for
academics and another for student
work, and has a refereed journal
of community engagement —
Gateways. This year the journal
had 5777 individuals from 115
countries visiting the site. Gateways
is a partnership with the Centre
for Urban Research and Learning
at Loyola University in Chicago
and is published by UTSePress.
Shopfront also houses the major
ARC-funded and Faculty of Arts
and Social Sciences-based Cultural
Asset Mapping in Regional Australia
(CAMRA) project and the Empty
Spaces project which is a partnership
with Arts NSW.
This program would not be possible
without the ongoing support of the
University and its Faculties, Centre
and Units. We are indebted to
numerous academics, administrative
staff, students and community
organisations who have individually
or collectively supported the
Shopfront.
I would particularly like to thank
Tam Ho who was the founding
Co-ordinator of the SOUL Award.
I would also like to acknowledge
the strong support of Professor Bill
Purcell, Deputy Vice-Chancellor and
Vice President (International and
Development) and his team.
Finally, it is with great sadness that
we record our debt of gratitude and
great affection for Dr Narelle Smith
— long-time member of Shopfront’s
Reference Group — who passed away
in 2012.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY FOR 2012
Since its inception, Shopfront has
delivered 700 projects across the
University’s faculties. Its core activity
of community-initiated projects
utilising the skills, expertise and
knowledge of the University is now
well established. Other highlights for
this year include:
UTS: SOUL AwardSocial Outcomes through University
Leadership — UTS: SOUL Award
— is a leadership and volunteer
program for students. The Award
was introduced to align with the
University’s commitment to social
justice and provide opportunities for
all students to make a meaningful
commitment to the broader
community. The Award facilitates
student volunteering alongside
a series of workshops, seminars
and discussion groups that focus
on building the skills required
for leadership and community
development.
In the Award’s pilot year 220 students
signed up and 79 are volunteering
on a regular basis. Many more are
eager to increase their involvement
and this is clearly demonstrated by
all of the students completing the
Bridge to Volunteering component
of the program. The membership is
representative of the student body
with 70% undergraduates and 30%
postgraduate, 72% local students and
28% internationals. The students are
from every faculty.
The Award allows students to
gain points and recognition
for their involvement through
three program strands: Skill Up
(leadership development), Hang
Out (team building) and Get Active
(volunteering in the community).
The Award encourages team-work
through participation. For example,
groups of students volunteered for
events such as Clean Up Australia
(above photo by Caitlin Ramrakha)
and National Tree Planting Day.
The Award provides opportunities
for time-poor students to also
participate in a range of activities
through intensives. An example
of an intensive is the photography
workshop where students learn how
to support community partners
through documentary photography.
The first workshop allowed students
to show their newly acquired or
better honed photographic skills
by documenting the wheelchair
basketball game — Wheelpower —
run by the Equity and Diversity Unit.
UTS students and staff competed in
a round robin to see who would go
up against athletes from Wheelchair
Sports NSW.
To ensure we are on track from
the students’ perspective, extensive
consultation with the current cohort
were undertaken during the year.
The students identified challenges that
have been addressed and also made
good suggestions that have been
incorporated to strengthen the Award.
It is now more flexible and provides an
opportunity for students to complete
the Award at their own pace.
SOUL students volunteered with
a broad range of organisations
including:
AIME, Black Dog, Children’s Festival,
Chinese Lion Dance, Cystic Fibrosis
NSW, Girl Guides Crossroad, Oxfam, Red
Cross, St Johns Ambulance, Spark, The
Smith Family, Special Children Centre
(working with disabled kids), Starlight
Foundation, Sudanese Australian
Integrated Learning (SAIL), Sydney Story
Factory, Youth Entertainment Reference
Group and Wayside Chapel.
Global Network CommendationUTS Shopfront was recognised
as one of the top six exceptional
student community engagement
and community service programs’
through the MacJannet Prize for
Global Citizenship. The MacJannet
Prize is administered through The
Talloires Network, an international
association of 62 institutions
committed to strengthening the civic
roles and social responsibilities of
higher education.
Monograph SeriesThe seventh monograph in the
series, The Power of One on One:
Human Libraries and the challenges
of antiracism work, is the first
comprehensive and independent
analysis of Human Libraries
(formerly Living Libraries) in
Australia. ‘Human Libraries’ refers
to an innovative social inclusion
community initiative developed in
Europe that is increasingly being
adopted by public libraries across
Australia, and some community
groups and government agencies.
The monograph provides an
overview of Human Library practices
and identifies key challenges for
policymakers and practitioners. It
also contributes to scholarly debates
on anti-racism work and on the
benefits and limits of cross-cultural
contact or dialogue within that work.
The authors, Dr Tanja Dreher and
Jemima Mowbray, document the
aims, history and key practices
of Human Libraries in Australia,
and provides discussion points for
people involved. The emergence and
development of Human Libraries is
analysed with reference to ‘contact
theory’ and the aim of addressing
prejudice. The monograph also
discusses the politics and ethics of
comfort and safety negotiated in
cross-cultural storytelling. While
the research finds a strong ‘buzz’
and widespread enthusiasm for the
Human Libraries project, the authors
also suggest a need for critical
reflection on key questions about the
strategy and its implementation.
Gateways: International Journal of Community Research and EngagementGateways fifth volume went live
in August and is an open issue
with contributions from Australia,
USA, UK, South Africa and the
Netherlands. Over the last year the
journal has had 5777 visitors from
112 countries. This figure includes
2094 official subscribers and 3683
new visitors. The top ten countries are:
USA, Australia, UK, Canada, South
Africa, India, Philippines, Germany,
Kenya and Ireland and submission of
articles reflect this readership.
Not for Profit ScholarshipThe Faculty of Business supports
Shopfront’s community partners
by offering two scholarships for its
Not-for-Profit Sector Management
Development Program.
The three-day course runs twice
a year and is especially designed
for managers in the not-for-profit
sector. The course includes: grant
making, fundraising, advocacy,
financial management, positive
psychology, human capital
management, legal issues and social
media marketing. Recipients of the
scholarships are Edward Thomas
from National Respite Association
and Ben Fioramonte from Macarthur
Disability Services.
Ben commented on the program, that
for people in the community sector
…they are really searching for ways… to
build up their organisation and turn it
into something greater. And I think that
this program will help people to do that
because it gives them an understanding
of where they’re at and where they
should be working toward and how they
should be doing it.

Australian Centre for Leadership for Women (ACLW)UTS Shopfront sponsored the ACLW’s
Sustaining Women’s Empowerment
in Communities and Organisations
(SWECO) Awards. These Awards
honour individuals and groups
who have developed a sustainable
initiative to empower women in a
community or organisation.
SWECO’s inaugural winners
were commended for their
leadership, determination and
collaboration in establishing
significant initiatives for women in
the community and in the workplace.
The winners are:
—Kat Armstrong for her leadership in establishing the Women in Prison Advocacy Network and its highly valued mentoring program which has an 82% success rate in keeping women out of prison.
—Ludo McFerran for her leadership in the introduction of domestic violence entitlements for periods of paid leave.
—Karen McFadzen for her organisational initiatives to achieve gender diversity at the executive level in Cisco Technical Services Team across Asia Pacific, Japan and Greater China.
Parramatta Female Factory Precinct (PFFP)PFFP has been partnering with the
Shopfront since 2007. The PFFP
Memory Project represents the next
stage of this partnership. A social
history and contemporary art project
centered on the Female Factory
Precinct, it fosters opportunities
for those with a direct experience
of institutional confinement to
represent and articulate their own
history. It will contribute to the aim
of securing the site for future
generations as a publicly accessible,
nationally — listed heritage site with
the intention being realised through
the development of creative works
made by former inmates and artists.
In April 2012 Shopfront hosted a
PFFP seminar which attracted forty
participants from NGOs, business,
government and universities. The
event provided a forum to address
strategic directions for the Memory
Project. One outcome was the
formation of a working group with
members from across the country
that has extended the Memory
Project’s base and planned a
national, invited colloquia to be held
in 2013.
Asia Engage ConferencePauline O’Loughlin was invited
to speak at the Asia Regional
Conference on Higher Education-
Community-Industry Engagement at
Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (The
National University of Malaysia)
in May. Forty-nine presenters from
ASEAN and Asia were chosen to
present and share their community
engagement projects/initiatives at
the regional conference. One of the
resultant partnerships formed is
with Dr Alfred Tan from Hong Kong
Baptist University that has led to
the development of a special issue of
the Gateways journal on Knowledge
Transfer and Community Betterment
that will be published in 2013.

VISION TO REALITY — PROJECTS
COMPLETED DURING 2012
Several projects undertaken during
2012 are highlighted below. (A full
list of projects starts on page 9.)
Southern Cross Wildlife Care (SCWC)SCWC is a Sydney-based not-for-
profit organisation dedicated to
the rescue and care of Australian
native wildlife. It was founded by
veterinarian Dr Howard Ralph, a
wildlife specialist.
SCWC began five years ago, with a
small team of volunteers working
towards a now realised goal of
establishing a Wildlife Care Centre
that was designed and created for the
sole purpose of attending wildlife in
need. SCWC need ongoing financial
assistance to continue caring for the
sick and injured animals that are
being treated. SCWC also operates
in rural NSW and saves thousands
of animals every year with no
government funding.
The organisation had established
a web presence but needed to
expand its capacity beyond a simple
information gateway. The website
had to incorporate elements that
would better inform the public and
act as a means of attracting funding
both locally and internationally to
support the Wildlife Car Centre.
Ross Roberts, a Masters of Knowledge
Management student from the
Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences,
supervised by Sue Halbwirth, worked
with SCWC volunteers to develop
a new website. He understood that
the website design needed to offer a
professional and engaging aesthetic
to gain credibility and attention
from users. It also required a good
usability so that those people who
updated the site could find their way
around and easily locate information
or complete any action required.
Ross delivered a great outcome
for this community organisation
that was well beyond his subject
requirements. Through his quiet
professionalism he was able to deliver
a successful design that had aesthetic
appeal, credibility and usability. Ross
was able to utilise the appealing
images of wounded and recovering
UTS Shopfront Annual Report 2012 6 | 7
animals for the site, update donation
pages, include volunteer stories and
provide greater public awareness and
fundraising opportunities for the
organisation.
‘If I can do something to alleviate the
stress, pain and suffering of these
animals…that’s why I do this work,’ said
Howard Ralph.
Windgap FoundationWindgap Foundation is a not-for-
profit Sydney charity, supporting
people with intellectual disabilities
and their families. By offering a
variety of programs and facilities
to intellectually disabled members
of the community such as day
programs, transition to work
programs and residential services,
Windgap has grown to be a vital
and strongly supported organisation.
Windgap’s mission is to improve
the quality of life for people with
an intellectually disability by
supporting them in reaching their
full potential and raising community
awareness as to their needs and
aspiration.
Supervised by Dr Natalia Nikolova,
the project had a team of five
students (pictured above) from the
Masters of Business Administration
— Jamie Parker, Imran Hossain,
Keith Jeffs, Veronika Roth and
Philip Radburn — working on a
feasibility study for the organisation
to expand its services to in-home
support for clients.
The students worked on a business
plan for the new service that
covered compliance requirements,
a competitor analysis and funding
and income planning for a cost
recovery business model for the
proposed program.
The students’ comprehensive work
assisted Windgap in their future
planning for the change from an
organization-focused to a person-
centred disability-funding model.
This model allows individuals to
choose their service providers and
the care services they require.
MBA student Jamie Parker said: ‘This
project represented a great
opportunity for our project team to
apply our knowledge and experience
in a real world situation. It was a
privilege to be able to contribute in
some small way to the great work
that Windgap undertakes.’
The team gained considerable insight
into the challenges that the not-
for-profit sector faces. They were
particularly impressed with the
passion and commitment of the staff
at Windgap and the strong bonds
that the organisation has with the
local community.
Windgap was so impressed with
the work that it employed one
of the student team members to
implement the recommendations
of the business plan.
Joanne Darcy from Windgap
congratulated the students and
said: ‘This project is an outstanding
example of the value of pro bono
university-community engagement’.
Anti-Slavery Australia (ASA)ASA is the only specialist legal
research and policy centre in
Australia focused on the abolition
of slavery, trafficking and extreme
labour exploitation. It provides
access to legal advice to victims
of trafficking, slavery and labour
exploitation. It is dedicated to the
elimination of slavery in Australia
and tackles this through research,
policy development, law reform,
professional practice, education and
advocacy to support the human
rights of trafficked, enslaved and
exploited people.
The Elastics (pictured opposite page)
— Cyna Strachan, Gemma Warriner,
George Saad, Menglin Zhang and
Kelly Bounassif — are a group of
Visual Communications students.
Supervised by Ivana Gabrielle
Gattegno, they were given the task
of creating a corporate sponsorship
package to attract potential donors
attention and present all the relevant
information in an interesting and
fresh way.
The students produced a beautifully
designed media kit that contained:
a personalised cover letter to draw
in potential donors, an information
booklet that provided a background
to ASA, a donation slip to prompt
donors to act, personal stories from
those most effected, a business card
and a USB.
Beau Neilson from ASA commented
on the media kit and her experience
working with the student team:
‘We will definitely be using the materials
to promote sponsorship. The students
were very thorough in asking for
appropriate information and very
professional throughout the project. They
were well guided in their work and the
product was fantastic. The students
were enthusiastic and offered a fresh
youthful approach to the project while
understanding elements of design
that they needed to incorporate to be
consistent with previous publications.’
Gemma Warriner (one of the design
team) commented on the learning
experience. She said:
‘ASA was personally an unknown
organisation so I really enjoyed learning
about the issues we have with Slavery in
Australia and helping to communicate
this message to others. I felt as though
we were working for a really worthy
cause which is always a point of
motivation. Shopfront did a fantastic job
working between clients and designers!’
VISION TO REALITY: PROJECTS
COMPLETED DURING 2012
Aboriginal Transport Network (ATN)ATN provides training, forums and
conference. The ATN is seeking
ongoing financial support from
the NSW and Commonwealth
Governments for operations, meetings
and training and it also requires
ongoing support from individual
Community Transport services
across the state. The ATN is presently
auspiced by the NSW Community
Transport Organisation (CTO).
Robin helped ATN to research,
develop and analyse models of
sustainable best practice and
innovation in Aboriginal transport
across NSW. The outcomes will be
tabled to both state and federal
governments and the relevant
departments.

Australian South Sea IslandersAustralian South Sea Islanders (ASSI)
are the Australian-born descendants
of people who were brought to
Australia as a source of cheap
labour for Queensland’s primary
industries between 1863 and 1904.
This national body acknowledges
and believes in the unique ways
that ASSI heritage contributes to
broader Australian society. The
organisation is focused on actively
developing social inclusion through
community development principles
and committed to providing access
and equity to programs relating
to cultural awareness and social
well-being.
Visual Communications students
designed a booklet to tell the ASSI
story clearly to a broad range of
audiences. The students identified
additional opportunities within the
project and devised other deliverables
for ASSI that included: a website
utilizing the new branding that is
easy for the organization to update
and an introductory stop-motion
piece to highlight the three words —
Unite, Inspire and Celebrate.

includes: advocacy for government
program allocations and policies
that reflect the needs and priorities
of people with ABI; providing input
to policy, legislation and program
development through active contact
with governments, government
departments and agencies as well
as national disability organisations;
and increasing public awareness of
ABI through the implementation of
public information programs.
Design students assisted Brain
Injury Australia to derive visual
messages from the contents and
recommendations of the 2010-11
policy paper. The project challenged
the design team to create dramatic.
But compassion-inducing visual
collateral for a national, multi-year

Empty Spaces ProjectThe Empty Spaces Project is funded
by the NSW government through
Arts NSW and UTS Shopfront and
promotes ‘pop-up’, short-term reuses
of empty shops and unused spaces
for creative renewal and community
development. This project built on
work undertaken by UTS students
in 2011 that mapped incentives
and disincentives for landlords
being engaged with short-term use
options to revitalise empty properties
and precincts.
MBA students delved further into
these issues and looked at developing
models for leasing-licensing
arrangements for ‘low cost short
term reuse’ that fit different types of
properties and the different needs of
property managers.
