Summer Schools. The University will also run a summer schools programme, building on the expertise that has been developed from HEFCE match funded and Aimhigher funded summer schools. All summer schools will complement the outreach provision, allowing students to undertake a progressive programme of activity. The purpose of the summer schools will be to provide participants with a university student experience and equip participants with knowledge, skills and experience that can be applied to their current learning and in their transition to HE level study. Working in partnership, we will liaise with other HEIs in the local area to ensure outreach and summer school provision is complementary, and delivers joint outreach activity where appropriate. We will also discuss any opportunities for shared communication with schools and colleges.

Summer Schools. (May to September) In this stage, those compact students who have expressed a firm acceptance of an offer will be invited to take up a place on a Summer School. The Summer School will be facilitated primarily by teams of student ambassadors, who in conjunction with academic and professional staff will encourage the compact students’ early engagement in the life of Kingston University. Specific issues covered will include learning and teaching in higher education particularly focussing on summative assessment practice which may be new to students who have studied on vocational programmes. Other areas will also be concerned with academic skills, with a particular focus on those relevant for their chosen academic programme. Students will be introduced to the range of academic and pastoral support which will be available to them whilst they are studying and they will be encouraged by ambassadors to recognise the importance of self-directed study and independent learning. A feature of the summer schools will be the forming of learning communities2 and social networks which will maintained once the student has entered the university.
Summer Schools. Under previous USAID-funded programming, CEPPS/IRI worked with major Moldovan political parties to develop internal party women’s organizations. These structures were designed to serve as mechanisms to help qualified women rise in party ranks. Many of Moldova’s current female parliamentary and government leaders have risen through party structures to lead women’s organizations before being tapped for such roles. CEPPS/IRI will build on these strong foundations and strengthen the internal capacity of existing women’s organizations through consultations to identify priorities, needs and opportunities and subsequent targeted trainings. CEPPS/IRI will also promote the development of similar structures in newer parties. CEPPS/IRI will host an annual round of women’s summer schools for individual parties’ women’s organizations. These summer schools are multi-day, multi-topic trainings that bring together women’s organization leaders and female party activists from across the country. Female politicians and activists continue to face many obstacles and gender stereotypes and the number of women in Moldova’s highest levels of decision-making remains insufficient, and so the encouragement that they receive from women’s organization leadership and the support that they draw from each other through face-to-face sessions like CEPPS/IRI’s summer schools serve to bolster these women’s political ambitions. For example, in a follow-up discussion with 2015 summer school participants, CEPPS/IRI learned that one participant was inspired afterwards to seek a leadership position within her party’s Association of Local Elected Officials, while other participants from a different session remained in communication with each other and are currently in the process of developing a proposal for an Association of Women Mayors within their party. CEPPS/IRI will utilize the staff and training capacity of its Women’s Democracy Network—CEPPS/IRI’s global initiative that connects women leaders with their counterparts around the world to share best practices and learn new skills—to add value to this programming. The sessions will focus on developing the participants’ leadership abilities, communication and interpersonal skills and willingness to take on greater roles within the party. Many of the summer school participants are returning alumnae and therefore CEPPS/IRI will seek to offer sessions and skills-focused trainings on increasingly advanced topics whenever possible. The summer schoo...
