Project Examples

Starting in February, UBC students will spend 20 hours each, applying a creative writing and storytelling approach to creating a podcast episode for your organization.

Based on your needs, goals, and messaging, students working in groups or individually will develop and record a short 5-6 minute podcast that you can use in your communications material.

Only a subset of the students in the course will be completing the real client project. You will be working with students who have opted into this special project, and are motivated to deliver a final project that makes an impact for your organization.

Project areas can include, but are not limited to:

  1. Collection of user stories - Students will interview your end user or client base and share their stories or testimonials in a narrative-style or interview format.
  2. Documentary podcast - Students will research your industry and organization to provide context and an overview on your goals and mission.
  3. Creative narrative - Students will create a fictional podcast that tells a story aligned with your organization's communication strategy.

Companies must answer the following questions to submit a match request to this experience:

Provide a dedicated contact who will answer periodic emails or phone calls over the duration of the project to address questions.

Provide students with background information on your organization, goals, and mission to allow them to effectively complete the project.

Be available for a quick phone call with the organizer to initiate your relationship and confirm your scope is an appropriate fit for the experience.
