The North Wales coast, its hinterland of Snowdonia National Park, the cosmopolitan cities of Chester, Liverpool, and Manchester, are all rich in project raw material. Whether the project be of an activity based outdoor style or a more research based topic, a combination of trips, guest speakers, authentic materials, and study packs help the content be both stimulating and informative.
Our trainers are experts in project delivery, giving the necessary input and elaborating the relevant language points and structures as project requirements dictate, but also acting as facilitators to allow maximum student involvement in taking forward project aims and presenting results in end of course presentations.
The support given by state schools in N.Wales, regional authorities, voluntary organisations, and youth action groups is invaluable in rendering many of our projects a very hands-on experience for the students.
Project programme examples:
- Economic regeneration on the N. Wales coast – a comparative study of the towns of Rhyl and Llandudno
- Snowdonia: the role of a National Park in encouraging outdoor pursuits
- Youth Action: the part played by voluntary organisations in assisting youth development and career choice
- Liverpool: a capital of culture and an example of 21st century city making
- Manchester: industrial revolution and heritage
- Liverpool and Manchester compared: a tale of two cities
- Football for all: the North West as the home of European football
Apart from the UK based programmes, we are pleased to offer similar or school educational projects in Italy where we are extremely well ‘linked in’ with the educational and training world.
Vocational training projects
An opportunity for school or college groups to understand more about the school and college system in the UK and through a series of visits and guest speakers from local authority institutes appreciate the school system, the opportunities open for young people and the career prospects for further and higher education study and work opportunities.
Meetings with Youth Action groups and careers service organisations provide a detailed insight for teenage life in the UK.
School term abroad
‘Sta’ is an opportunity for individuals aged 16 to 19 to spend a period of between 3 months and 9 months in a state school in Wales, following timetabled subjects taken by British students and having the chance to really immerse themselves in the school system and even take examinations at the end of the school year. Candidates are interviewed and scrutinised for suitability as part of our selection process and all students are monitored throughout their stay by our coordinating officer.
