In order to do this we have created a number of projects which we deliver through schools, nurseries, play groups and other organisations so they can benefit from their experience with us.

• A passport is a great way to record your child’s achievements, especially if they will be doing lots of different activities or meeting lots of new people in their first year at university.
• You can get one from the Students’ Union Office when you arrive for Freshers’ Week. Look out for our sign on the way into town!
• Once you’ve got your passport, it’s time to start collecting stamps! We’ll be keeping track of how many stamps each student has received so they can show them off at graduation ceremonies and awards events. When students get 10 stamps, they receive a certificate; 20 stamps earn them an award – don’t forget to take photos!

After eight hours of learning, you’re eligible for some certificates and awards from the CU.

This resource has been developed by the Children’s University of Manchester in partnership with our local schools, colleges and other organisations to help you plan your future journey through education. The passport will help you learn more about each stage of learning – primary school, secondary school, college or university – so that you can make good choices about what to do next.

• The activity should be designed for children, not adults.
• For example, if you want to offer a course in baking, it must be held in a kitchen where the child can actually bake something.

There are lots of ways to have fun while learning

Learning is fun!

Learning is a lifelong process. Learning goes on, in fact, throughout our lives; we are always learning something new and important. The more that you learn, the better equipped you will be to handle the challenges of life and business.

You can learn by yourself or with others. Learning by yourself means studying on your own or reading books and newspapers instead of watching TV. It also means doing things like playing games, listening to music and watching movies (but not all at once). When people work together toward a common goal they call it a team effort, which means everyone working together toward one goal under direction of someone else who has more experience than any other member of this group – like in sports teams or maybe even at home when Mommy works with little brother Billy helping him learn how to tie his shoe laces!

There are many opportunities for children to learn outside of school and it’s important that they have the chance to do so. The CU is a great way to encourage this and make sure that children get involved with activities which will help them develop their skills.
