#Unlock: digitally delivered learning done differently

Lambeth Made write:

Do you know a young person with potential, who's unmotivated and fed up with traditional learning? You do. Then you need to know about Unlock and you need to act now. Unlock is the creative solution to summer boredom. It’s going to be a positive and inspiring learning experience, that will develop hidden talents and create confidence.

Why is Unlock different?

“It's not school” says Shaff Prabatani, Lambeth Made Coordinator, “Everyone learns their own way. They need to be taught that way. Unlock will do that, plus they'll get a mentor to provide one-to-one support from start to finish. Opportunities like these don't come around often!”

Learning is via upbeat interactive online chat and courses are led by experts; recording artists, filmmakers, entrepreneurs, activists and youth workers. Some courses have qualifications attached and all learners get advice on moving on into more learning, training or even work.

When? Recruitment is now and the closing date has been extended to Monday 6 July. Courses start early July and run two or three days a week for six to 10 weeks.

Who? Unlock is for all 15 to 18 year olds living in Lambeth, but its targeted at those with no plans for school or college in September.

Unlock is brought to you by ‘Lambeth Aspires’, a partnership between Lambeth Made, Lambeth Council and our brilliant course providers.

The courses:

• Developing Your Side Hustle
• Introduction To Youth Work
• Performance and Event Management For A Digital Age
• Produce Your Own Music Video
• Drillosophy
• Wowsers: Being Together Apart
