As part of Kent County Council’s Reconnect scheme for young people this summer, the University is hosting eight days of free sports and arts activities for 11 to 15-year-olds.
Reconnect is the council’s scheme to encourage young people to reconnect, socialise and take part in fun activities following the Covid-19 pandemic.
Launching from Monday 16 August on the University’s Canterbury campus, young people who are eligible for free school meals are welcome to join an exciting programme of physical activities and creative arts sessions.
Sports sessions will be led by Kent’s Sports Development Team and include tennis, football and cricket alongside other physical activities and challenges within its campus sports facilities.
Creative arts sessions, including drama, will be delivered by the Gulbenkian Team.
Sessions will cater for all abilities and will take place either side of a free healthy lunch.
Reconnect at Kent runs from Monday 16 to Thursday 19 August, and Monday 23 to Thursday 26 August (10am-3pm each day).
Individuals can register to attend and find out more by visiting Kent Hospitality’s Reconnect at Kent webpage.
