Learning & Leading: experiential learning for young people
Have you ever wanted to:

• get outside your A Level classroom to do geography in the real world?
• do a Gap Year but could not afford it?
• take part in academic field research?

Learning & Leading promotes learning and personal development through fieldwork, Gap year experiences and undergraduate research apprenticeships.

288 young people and 112 teachers will directly benefit through Learning & Leading placements - young people and teachers who, through challenging circumstances or lack of opportunity, have not been able to undertake such work before.

We are providing carefully managed opportunities for learning and personal development for:

  A Level students: through fully funded geography fieldwork summer schools.  Running 25-29 August 2008 in Swanage, Dorset
  Apply now (PDF)

  A Level geography teachers: through fully funded fieldwork master-class summer schools.  Running 18-22 August 2008 in Swanage, Dorset
  Apply now (PDF)

  Gap Year individuals: through full bursaries, advice and training to support an overseas Gap Experience
 Application details available in August 

  Geography undergraduates: through summer HE fieldwork apprenticeships
 Application details available in August 

Participants’ learning experiences will be shared widely, to encourage  more young people to undertake fieldwork, get the best from gap years, and achieve within their studies.
