Summer Schools
Since the last newsletter UNIAID has been out delivering sessions in Universities' Summer Schools, supported by the Sutton Trust. In these sessions we have been able to see how these sessions can fit into Summer School programmes, as well as measure the promising outcomes of these sessions on students:
Following these sessions 88% of the students felt they had learnt more about themselves and their attitudes to money.
82% of students reported that they understand how the choices they make with their money will affect their future
If you would like to learn how you could use the UNIAID Interactive programme in your Summer School call Allie on 0207 922 7794.
Many thanks to all those who have been involved and special thanks to the Sutton Trust for supporting these workshops.
Exciting NEW Study Skills Modules
UNIAID has worked closely with Lex McKee (LearnFast World) on the development and delivery of our warmly received UNIAID Interactive Modules.
Lex’s speciality is Accelerated Learning, having written “The Accelerated Trainer” for Gower Publishing. As such, Lex is very keen to offer even more resources to help students and educators raise the Academic aspect of their MASH profile (Money Academic Social Health). Clearly, our online and interactive tools are designed to boost students’ skills at managing their Money. In association with LearnFast World, we now feel it is time to offer tools to provoke a similar boost in the Academic aspect. As this succeeds, we will add modules for the Social and Health aspects too.
