Today, Wednesday 4th September, the Churchill Fellowship opens for applications focused on “Supporting engagement in education – enabling all students to thrive”. A Fellowship funds you to spend 4-8 weeks meeting and learning from leading innovators in your field around the world in order to share and implement that learning in the UK.

Education is a central theme in the Churchill Fellowship grant-making, they are looking for applications for projects which explore how to support engagement in education, not just with a view to improving attendance, but with a wider goal of engaging all children, enabling them to thrive, have a positive view of themselves as learners, and taking that attitude on into their working life.

This new education programme aims to find out what engages children in their learning, what develops in them a feeling that they can be successful as a learner and what needs to be done to help them ultimately move into the world of work, ensuring they are equipped with the knowledge they need and the necessary mindset to enjoy a successful, fulfilling career.

Applications close on the 12th November, find out more and apply by clicking here.
