Think Human Festival events for schools
10–14 February 2019
Think Human Festival for schools is a free experience for select schools* that will expose your A level and college students to university-level learning and help them get a feel for university life. Hosted at the Oxford Brookes University Headington campus, students will participate in seminars that explore the key issues facing youth today. Transportation and meals are included.
*We encourage you to register interest for your school, if your students meet any one or more of the following criteria: students live in an area with low levels of progression to university, or live in an area of socioeconomic disadvantage, are care leavers, care givers, have refugee or asylum seeker status or are BAME.
