Pendle Vale and Inspiring Communities got together to arrange a visit to Edge Hill University with some Young People and Parents from the College.
It was an amazing day for all who attended and a big thank you goes to Craig and his team of Student Ambassadors, who worked really hard to make the whole day such a successes. Thanks again.
On arrival the group was taken into a hall where the Young People took part in various aspiration activities. These were aimed to give an insight into what careers require a university degree and
what life as a student is like.After this the young people had the opportunity to ask questions of the student ambassadors, and thus get an idea of the ‘real’ Uni. life beyond the prospectus.
We then had a tour of the excellent campus at Edge Hill including the sport facilities, drama, health and the library. We were also allowed to go into one of the admissions room in the halls of residence. (Luckily he had sprayed and opened a window!)
After lunch in the student refectory, the young people got into groups for role play. One young person from each group put on a cap and gown and the others wrote down what they imagined they degree they could take, as well as what life would be like for their graduate. Some really funny ideas were presented.
Overall I think that everyone had one of the best days since the project began, and it’s a big thank you to Edge Hill and Pendle Vale for all their hard work before and during the day!
