Summer School | building language and knowledge
August 2022
Each August we run a summer school, with language and skills sessions designed to minimise social isolation, improve English and help young people prepare for the new academic year.
The long summer break is often challenging for displaced young people, increasing their sense of isolation. We want to counter this; providing the opportunity to spend the holidays experiencing and learning new things, having fun and building relationships.
This year, we ran activities throughout August focusing on work and careers, living safely and health and wellbeing. We ran sessions with GASP Motor Project, Surrey Outdoor Learning and Development, Surrey University School of Law, Surrey Police and Kings College Guildford.

We had a fantastic month, and the feedback from young people was overwhelmingly positive. We were blown away by the improvement we saw in their language skills, confidence and knowledge of UK life. We saw friendships grow and vague career ideas become firm goals. You can read more about last years Summer School in our blog.
