    Abstract

    Overview of the chapter
    In this chapter we explore some of the issues we face, as occupational therapy educators working in the UK, in providing high quality learning experiences that enable students to experience the impact of collective occupation in their local community. We explain how we have capitalised on an opportunity—engagement with a local, charitable organisation: Students and Refugees Together (START)—to realise this ambition. Our work with START is presented as an exemplar of our learning and teaching practice. It demonstrates that an interdisciplinary practice placement, which focuses upon supporting marginalised people within their community, can be a conduit for students to learn about and effect social inclusion through occupation
