11 November, S6 workshop, Liberton HS, 1.30-2.30

Wednesday 11 November, 1.30-2.30 (this workshop is now full - thanks!)
S6 'Getting by on Student Budget' workshop
Liberton HS, Edinburgh

During the S6 workshop you will be working with a small group of S6 pupils (16-17 year olds) on a student case study. We have compiled a number of case studies following feedback form existing and previous volunteers and you will be able to choose what case study you want to work with at the start of the workshop.

The pupils in your group have to discuss the case study and work out, with the aid of a calculator, what the 'case study student' expenditure is for a typical week at university and also what income they have available to them during the academic year to pay for their student lifestyle. Your role is to make sure the group is working together, discussing the case study and reaching agreement before writing down their answers. More importantly, we would also like
you to share with your pupils your own experiences of getting by on a student budget.
If you are interested in signing up for this workshop please drop me an email claire.aitchison@ed.ac.uk and let me know if would like transport to the school.

The meeting time for this workshop is 1pm at the LEAPS office and we'll make sure you are dropped back there after the workshop about 2.50ish. If you would rather make your own way there we are happy to meet you at the school office at 1.20pm - just let me know please.
