Learn valuable skills and make new friends

This is the sixth year that the Royal Borough of Greenwich has funded Futureversity's summer programme, giving youngsters the opportunity to learn new skills, have fun and make new friends.

Councillor Miranda Williams, Cabinet Member for Children and Young People, said: "Futureversity offers free training for young people which can help them learn valuable skills so I would recommend everyone aged 10 to 19 years old finds out what's on and signs up.

"No matter what you're interested in there's bound to be something that appeals to you, from parkour to vlogging, to special effects makeup and prototyping an app."

'Learning that inspires and sparks interest'

Glenys Ruan, Programmes Manager at Futureversity, said: "We've seen an increase in enrolment year on year in Greenwich and 2017 is set to be our best summer yet!

"Futureversity has always provided positive, inspiring programmes for young people, giving them opportunities to try new activities and access exciting learning that inspires and sparks interests, so we are naturally thrilled to be back this year to continue our positive work in the borough."
