Aimhigher Fayres at The Learning Space, Camborne.

The Aimhigher Fayre was held at the CPR Learning Space from 2nd to 4th February 2009.

Aimhigher Fayre in Camborne, Pool and Redruth with the CPR Success Zone 2009. 

Aim Higher has been an important project within the Camborne, Pool and Redruth (CPR) Success Zone now for six years.  Raising aspiration and achievement are one of our core goals and principles in our working. One of the most successful programmes to come from this is our Annual Aim Higher Fayre. The event was held from Monday 2nd to Wednesday 4th February 2009 at the CPR Learning Space in Camborne.

 

This year the event involved 8 Universities from the South West of England who brought along student ambassadors, display boards, literature and information about their University. Again Connexions had an exhibition stand with information about their work and how they can provide additional information about learning pathways. The aim of the event is to dispel some of the myths about University and University life.  How much will it cost?  Do you have to have A levels? What is student life like?  What courses can you do?  What are the benefits of going to University? From this the students and their parents should see that higher education is for everyone & you don't have to be rich! Each University had a  student ambassadors on hand who talked about their life experiences as a students and why they chose to go to University. 

The Universities who attended this year's fayre were: 

Bath

Bristol

Cardiff

Cornwall College

Downing Cambridge

Falmouth

Plymouth

St John's Oxford

 

There is a poster to view which gives some of the student's comments about what they thought about the HE Fayre.
