Partnership Programmes
LENScience school-science-community partnership programmes bring young people, teachers, community members and scientists together to explore and address issues of relevance to communities.
Adolescence is a time of rapid change, opportunity, and challenge. Learning opportunities should support young people to explore new experiences and journey towards greater responsibility and independence. It is a time to explore societal issues and begin the journey of forming opinions about how individuals, families, communities and society can respond to these issues.
Using a cross-sectoral partnership approach our programmes are informed by expertise from the compulsory education, health and science sectors, alongside community and cultural perspectives.
