We bring these seminars into individual and groups of schools and colleges. We need about 60 students to do this, but even if you do not have this number, we keep a database of interested institutions from which to create a viable seminar. You may be interested to know that some schools and colleges are able to access various funds such as ‘Excellence in Cities’/Aim Higher funding in relation to this seminar.
