Teaching Methodology (Ages 13-15)
Engage in intimate small group settings (with no more than 8 students and often fewer), ensuring personalised attention from instructors. Through interactive sessions, our educators will navigate participants through fundamental environmental concepts, assign practice tasks, and encourage collaborative activities such as group work, independent research, and guided discussions. These close-knit class environments promote active participation, enabling students to explore diverse perspectives through lively debates with peers and tutors.
Teaching Methodology (Ages 16-17 & 18-24)
Embrace the Oxford tradition with tutorial-style teaching, led by expert tutors who foster self-directed learning and critical thinking in interactive seminars within small groups (limited to 8 students). Throughout the summer programme, participants undertake two pieces of independent work, meticulously evaluated in personalised 1:1 or 2:1 tutorials. These sessions serve as invaluable forums for feedback and discourse, fostering a deeper understanding of environmental issues within a supportive learning environment. Upon completion, participants receive a certificate and a personalised letter of recommendation from their tutor.
