Frontiers Seminars & Workshops
New Horizons: Pioneering Strategies for
Engaging Young People with Learning
We will soon be launching a series of seminars and workshops which seek to promote a cultural change in youth organisations, to focus on learner engagement.
The training will be based on Frontiers’ groundbreaking alternative curriculum, which has been causing a stir among youth services, education providers and the media. Now the subject of a BBC1 documentary, New Horizons is set to revolutionise the way educational professionals engage young people.
New Horizons has proved highly effective at engaging disaffected teenagers with learning, resulting in increased confidence and self-esteem and remarkable improvements in behaviour.
Feedback from previous seminars
On 9th November 2007, we ran a very successful seminar for professionals and leaders in educational and youth service organisations, wishing to further develop their strategies for engaging young people in learning.
