Think about your work experience as a student. What did you learn? What skills did you develop? How did it impact your future? For many of us work experience was a week or two of menial tasks like making cups of tea. At School 21 we wanted to give our students a real world experience, which would actually have an impact on their future. That’s why we developed the Real World Learning Programme. Through participating in this course you too will have the tools to implement a more holistic and authentic learning experience to students and create lasting and impactful partnerships in your community.

This course will provide: 

  • Chance to speak to students who have experienced it
  • Chance to speak to an employer
  • Learning from our expertise
  • Network of like-minded changemakers
  • Chance to experience the launch of School21’s RWLP as it happens!

This course is both informative and practical and will allow you to start planning a RWLP, connect with Big Education for further support, and join a community with other schools and professionals running RWLPs.
