AIMHIGHER SHOW TOURING THE NORTHWEST

’The University Challenge’ is currently touring schools and colleges in Manchester, Bolton, Cheshire and Warrington. It has currently reached way over 15000 young people so far.

This highly entertaining performance gives a comedic insight into the harsh world of growing up; making choices about the future, finding the right career and at the same time 'The University Challenge' promotes higher education and further learning. It’s a laugh-out-loud piece of theatre for education that has had phenomenal feedback and has certainly struck a chord.

The performance follows the journey of a pupil sitting in a G.C.S.E examination to the arrival at University. It’s energetic and engaging style takes the audience on a roller coaster ride; meeting careers advisors, work experience bosses, opinionated parents and making new friends at University.

Following the performance, 2engage directors and performers share their paths of education and their experiences of university with the audience and answers questions.

"2engages University Challenge performance delivers a clear and thoroughly engaging message about young peoples future choices, options and expectations when they come to leave school through the medium of drama/comedy. By breaking down these areas into humorous, digestible sketches it turns what could be a very boring Advise and Guidance session into a fun, aspiration raising performance. It s a fantastic show that is applicable to various year groups and can be delivered anywhere from a small class room to a large school hall/ performance space. All of the students/ teachers that have watched it have found it completely engaging with the Q+ A session at the end proving to be a great success (as proven by the amount of questions that 2engage are asked). This is something that Aimhigher certainly plan to tour in our schools again."
