UNIAID Interactive News
This is the second newsletter dedicated to the national programme, UNIAID Interactive, which has been developed by UNIAID and Aimhigher. This month, we launch the new UNIAID Interactive website as well as the first dates for the UNIAID Interactive Launch Roadshow. We have been delighted to receive so many enquiries about the programme and we hope to see many of you at our events.
The partners have a shared belief that today's students face many challenges and need help in their transition to higher education. Students need guidance, which is interactive, accessible and engaging. We hope this programme provides you with new tools and approaches to help students prepare for and cope with these challenges.

The MASH Test
A fantastic new card game from UNIAID
What's your personality type?
Find out about yourself and others by running the MASH test. This card game is guaranteed to break the ice with any group and get everyone talking.
Participants trade cards with each other and collect statements which best describe themselves. By exploring their personalities, they will learn how their personal preferences affect their MASH - their Money, Academic, Social and Health!
Target audience:
Years 11-13, undergraduates. Non-students love it too! It works well wherever you need to break down barriers and build a fun, positive group dynamic.
