Destinations Festival
On Wednesday 9th April 2025, Inspiring Choices and partners hosted the first ever Destinations Festival, held on campus at York St John University!
The festival was aimed at young people in Year 9 and above from any background who have an interest in attending University and would like to know more. There were professionals from a variety of careers and universities sharing their advice at careers stands, drop-in sessions on how to apply for student finance and through UCAS, guidance and support for certain groups including students eligible for DSA (disabled students' allowance), and taster sessions with the Policing department at York St John University. There were also lots of other activities to get involved with like adding your own design to a collaborative art banner, creating hot water bottle covers and trying to set the fastest time on the rowing machine.
It really was a fantastic day for all involved and we would like to thank everyone who was involved in Destinations Festival for making the event a great success. We are also pleased to announce that Destinations Festival will be returning next year! More information is coming soon so for now, stay tuned for an update!
