IntoUniversity Values Sessions with E@E

A group of Eton students and teachers held a virtual session for children from IntoUniversity centres in Clacton, Liverpool, and Coventry to learn the importance of teamwork in creating environmental solutions. After coordinating with IntoUniversity staff on materials for use in these virtual sessions, Eton students prepared a fact file on plant and animal biomes. In small groups led by several Eton students and a master, the children worked together to design and make presentations on biodiversity.

Feedback from the IntoUniversity centres indicated that the children had found the sessions enjoyable and helpful in improving their presentation and teamwork skills. The children found the Eton volunteers were very energetic, creative, encouraging and supportive.
