Friday 17 December, 9.45-12.30 (this event is now full - thanks!)
Heriot Watt University, Edinburgh
Our annual ‘Conference for S6 students’ will take place at Heriot Watt University this year. This event is open to all student volunteers, irrespective of where you study – in fact we would like as many volunteers as possible to take part from a wide range of universities and subject areas.
We are expecting similar pupil numbers to last year (around 320) attending the conference. Those who attend come from a number of schools in Edinburgh, Lothians, the Scottish Borders and the Forth Valley area.
Pupils who come along will attend short presentations by guest speakers and opt into a selection of workshops. Your role as a volunteer could involve one or more of the following activities;-
- mingle and chat informally with pupils as they arrive and during break
- take part in our standard ‘getting by on a student budget S6 workshop
- take part in a workshop focusing on how to survive moving away from home
- star on the ‘Student Panel’ answering questions posed by the audience
The meet up point is the James Watt Conference Centre at Heriot Watt at 9.45am. The best way to get to Heriot Watt is by taking the number 25 Lothian bus from Princes Street. The journey takes about 35 minutes and they run every 10 minutes.
As always please get in touch if you have any questions. If you have any problems on the day please call or text me on 07891 371 889.
