Just feeding back about the 'My Town-My Job' project and we found all the performances were very well received by both the staff, the students and the parents really enjoyed it too.
We did some consultation with the young people afterwards and asked them what they thought the best parts of the project were. Several of them mentioned your performances. Thanks and regards.

Just wanted to write to say a big thank you from myself, the sixth form tutors and the year 12 students for the excellent induction programme you delivered for us on Tuesday 7th September.
We feel that the day was a huge success and was thoroughly enjoyed by the whole of year 12. We look forward to working with you again in the future.

"The Manchester high schools who hosted the "University Challenge" were full of praise for the performance and felt it was pitched appropriately for the Year 9 learners, who were embarking on choosing their options. I can thoroughly recommend 2Engage and look forward to them coming to our schools again."

The drama duo were great. I think all the universities were impressed with them and they got the idea of Higher Education across in a really entertaining way. The students that did attend were much focussed and asked some really good questions afterwards.
I thought the HE evening was well organised and had the right amount of information and advice sessions. The Performing Arts Duo seemed really well received and was an enjoyable performance.
I thought the event was good, I think the drama presentation was brilliant in that it inspired the students to come and talk to the universities. I was busy from the end of the show till way after closing time! Fantastic show!

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 withe 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...
