The day will be tailored to expose young people to opportunities and experiences that will increase their social, intellectual and cultural capital. Starting by taking the train to a new city this day will include a taster at the RSC, a chance to explore the town and eat out together.
This experience will be a chance for students to experience a new city. Travelling by train students will visit Stratford Upon Avon, a city not too far from home but completely different in its atmosphere. Students will have the opportunity to explore the charming medieval market town, including eating out with the group. They will also have the opportunity to experience visiting the RSC for an exclusive taster session run by professionals.
This experience will offer the opportunity for pupils to develop a wide range of skills but also their knowledge of other places and people. This in turn will develop their cultural capital, giving them the confidence to access new opportunities.
