Spring into Summer 2013

After two successful years of Spring into Summer we were keen to expand and build on the previous format of a week-long programme of one-day workshops. Feedback from previous Spring into Summer learners suggested that people were keen for a more prolonged form of provision and this gave us the confidence to offer an expanded programme of ten evening and daytime courses running for six weeks from early June to mid-July:

We were delighted with the success of the new format, the enthusiasm and commitment demonstrated by participants who attended and the help and support we received from our fantastic partners:

Evaluating the success of the new Spring into Summer format was extremely important to us and we were very grateful to receive so much thoughtful and in-depth feedback from participants. Analysing this feedback really helped us to reflect on what we did well and where we could improve, and left us with plenty of enthusiasm for planning the 2014 programme.

Spring into Summer 2012

The 2012 Spring into Summer programme took place in June with the following one-day workshops:

The 2012 programme also included a free evening seminar – Reflections on the Arab Spring of 2011 and its aftermath.

Spring into Summer 2011

2011 saw the launch of Spring into Summer. Our first programme saw participants attending the following programme of ten one-day workshops at the University of Leeds:

As this was a new initiative we were very keen to hear participant feedback, which was extremely positive. Many participants were also keen to see more of this kind of provision in the future, with people expressing an interest in a broad range of subject areas. We were delighted with the success of the first Spring into Summer programme and finished the week keen to start planning for 2012.
