First Campus is a partnership between higher education institutions, further education colleges, community groups and schools in South East Wales.
First Campus works with a variety of people engaging them in events and activities from school age to adult returnees encouraging the importance of learning.
Work with School Pupils
The aim of the project is to engage further with schools to raise the awareness of progression routes into Higher Education for pupils. In particular highlighting that learning is fun and to plant the idea that university is an option for all. Making university facilities available to young people raises their educational aspirations and achievements and hopefully encourages them to progress to higher levels of learning.
Through collaboration we run a series of exciting and challenging activities for a wide cross section of pupils who are at key stages 2, 3 and 4. Our activities fully complement the curriculum, enrich studies, encourage participation and are enjoyable for all participants.
Family Learning
Working together with HE and FE institutions, local schools, Communities First, voluntary organisations and key partners we can help to encourage all generations to take part in fun and exciting new ways of learning together.
Family Learning describes a whole range of formal and informal activities and programmes where parents, grandparents, children and carers are involved in learning. Sometimes it involves the adults and children learning together at the same time. Sometimes it involves different age groups meeting separately in order to learn.
Specifically, the family learning strand aims to provide a coherent package of support for young people and their families to develop a culture of learning in the home and the community and to encourage those with potential to progress to HE.
