Linking London Uni Connect Update - March 2026
March 2026 update from Uni Connect.
Our collaborative BTEC Transition Project continued this month, with sessions successfully delivered at City of Westminster College’s Willesden and Paddington campuses, as well as at West Thames College by Birkbeck, University of London. We look forward to upcoming sessions led by UEL and Northeastern University in partnership with NCC Havering College over the coming weeks.
We were also delighted to launch the first session of our Oracy and Law Project for its second year, building on last year’s highly successful pilot at Ark Putney in partnership with Birkbeck. Designed to strengthen communication and confidence in Year 9 students, the project began with fantastic energy and enthusiasm from all involved.
Our Kick Start Sports programme continues, with university visits underway for students from Barnet and Southgate College and NCC Epping. Participants are visiting the University of West London, Middlesex University and the University of East London. These visits will continue over the next few months as we move towards the final stages of the project and evaluation.
Meanwhile, Kick Start Creative will resume university visits in June, including attendance at the University of Greenwich Graduate Art Show and visits to the art, music and media facilities at the University of West London.
Our collaborative webinar series also continues into March. We begin with Demystifying University for Parents on Wednesday 25 February at 5.30pm. This will be followed by our Creative and Screen Careers webinar on Wednesday 4 March at 6pm, featuring speakers from UAL, The Courtauld Institute, and professionals working across the TV and screen industries.
We look forward to seeing many of you at these upcoming events.
