Engaging young people with the world of research can be a worthwhile and enjoyable experience for everyone involved. You can benefit from the opportunity to develop and put into practice your skills, build confidence and widen your research horizons.
In this session we’ll look at how to approach engagement with young people, including;
– How to pitch your research for young people
– How to establish links with schools, colleges, youth groups etc.
– How to develop activities and resources that schools and colleges will actually use.
– What support is available at BU
This session will be delivered by the BU Engagement Officer and the Schools Liaison Team.
