“By working for DMLL I am still able to learn whilst working very professionally in a creative environment. I am always free to have my opinion as a Graphic Designer and am always included. DMLL has really helped me find my place in the design industry which I am very thankful for.”
Emilia Byrne
DMLL Student Activator (2nd Year Graphic Design student)
“As much as ideas, though, it’s been good to get people’s comments on what I’m doing and to know that other people are thinking of similar ideas and that I’m not just doing something alone, at a tangent to the direction of the university.”

“SPRINT was a real eye opener. It’s a great method for challenging dogmatic and tried and trusted thinking in a safe space, to produce ideas and strategies outside the box in quick time. I can certainly see multiple applications in improving the student experience.”

“We believed the gameshow event put on by DMLL was a huge success. We wanted our student-athletes to experience a fun but competitive environment, where they could participate in a number of exercises that would be new to them all, thus making sure there was an ‘even playing field’. DMLL did just that. The student-athletes were engaged and catered for, for the entirety of the event, leaving‘Team Phoenix Management’ to drift between groups and observe/listen without having to organise.”

Inspiring others to rethink…
Learning Space
Students and staff from Hereward College, Coventry, visited the Lab in May 2016 as part of a project to rethink the design and purpose of the college’s social areas. Inspired by the space, they went on to redesign their recreational areas to include astroturf tiered seating, bright colours and themed areas including the “think zone”, “talk zone” and “eat zone”.
Government Policy
The SWING Project designed and established Accessibility Centres in Moroccan and Egyptian Universities. The success of the project led to a change in government policy to help support disabled people in Morocco including scholarships for disabled people at all levels of education and centres set up to provide guidance and advice for disabled people.
“Thank you once again for your positivity, energetic participation and valued contributions across what was a very productive first ‘proof of concept’ process. Notwithstanding the challenges discussed this week, we have a defined and well-designed proposition that can be carried forward, and for that we should be proud.”

“Looking at the students’ activities, the way they use their space available, and the fact that students are at the core of the DMLL activity, I immediately understood that it was not necessary to ask anyone to provide more details. The students occupation of the space was very impressive!!! Thanks to my job, I continuously visit Universities around the world and every time I would like to come back to my student age, for several reasons of course…This time, this dream was even stronger with respect to the other times! Thanks to DMLL people for your job. Your student’s activity talks for you.”

“Still stunned by the whole @disrupt_learn #dmll experience. Been a long time since I felt so jazzed, or laughed so hard. I’ll remember this.”
