The University of Sheffield and Sheffield Hallam University have launched a new partnership that will support the expansion of Children's University in South Yorkshire, so that every child and young person in the region can be encouraged and rewarded for taking part in extra-curricular activities.
The two universities launched the partnership at a Children's University graduation ceremony yesterday (Wednesday 30 November) at Sheffield City Hall.
Children's University is a national initiative that celebrates participation in learning activities and opportunities outside school hours, encouraging children and young people from the age of five to try new learning experiences.
Culminating in an inspirational graduation ceremony, this learning adventure gives children and young people the opportunity to enrich their childhoods, nurture a lifelong love of learning, unlock their skills and talents and develop their aspirations and confidence, regardless of their backgrounds.
