Network offer help to students

The Merseyside Network for Collaborative Outreach (MNCO) are inviting people along to a twilight event which will be taking place at the Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts on Wednesday 18 May, from 6pm – 7.30pm.
The evening will focus on helping staff to support students who have an interest in progressing further in performing arts or making performance possible subjects.
Any attendees who would also like to have a look around LIPA are invited to arrive earlier, at 5.15pm, for a short tour.
The evening will include:
•  A presentation by Phil Christopher, LIPA’s director of higher education, who will discuss how supporting an applicant towards a vocational performing arts related degree course might be different to an application for more traditional academic courses, and what staff should be aware of.
•  A Q&A opportunity with some of the teaching staff where you can find out more about courses and careers within performing arts.
•  The opportunity to find out more about the outreach opportunities that are available to your pupils through the widening participation team.
To book your place onto this event, you can email b.leventhall@lipa.ac.uk, with your name and the name of your school/college. Please also include if you would like to attend a tour of LIPA at 5.15pm and if you have any access requirements that we need to be aware of.
The address of LIPA is: Mount Street, Liverpool, L1 9HF – however, attendees will need to meet at our main reception entrance on Pilgrim Street (just around the corner).
If you have any further questions, contact Ben Leventhall on 0151 330 3010.
