Schools and Colleges
Over the last few years, in association with the University’s Partnership Development Office, we have developed a range of curriculum-enhancing activities to offer local schools and colleges. In previous years, activities have included mini-conferences, citizen’s jury role-plays, workshops and one-hour lectures and/or seminars. Recent topics have included: developments in American politics; the changing forms of young people’s political participation; quota systems in the selection of constituency MPs; debating the laws on abortion; the nature of freedom. Expertise amongst colleagues means that we would also be able to deliver lectures and activities in the following areas: contemporary British politics; the Cold War; the U.N. and other International Organisations; British political ideologies; Russian politics; the Middle East; Europe’s enlargement in the East; and much more besides! Each session is delivered by a member or members of our Outreach Team of academic staff and experienced Teaching Assistants.
Our offer to schools and colleges is designed to support teachers in citizenship, history and sociology as well as politics. Most of the sessions we offer can be tailored for either years 9-11 or 12-13. Some activities are best delivered in school, others by visiting the university; talk to us and we’ll help sort out the best package for you.
