Essex Futures Final Day

Yesterday we had the final day of this year's Essex Futures Programme.

It was gratifying to hear participants reflecting on their learning over the year - nad also the many friendships forged - and also helpful to hear their ideas on improving the programme for the future.

We were joined for the day by some staff and recent graduates from E15, the University's Acting School, who helped us to prepare dramatic summaries of the projects that the groups have been working on over the year as part of their learning.

These were as creative and entertaining as ever, and were performed in the evening for an invited audience of the previous cohorts, participants' managers, mentors, guest speakers from earlier in the programme, and senior members of the University.  It made for a great celebration.
