What is Warwick Inspire?
At WarwickInspire, we tackle one of the biggest issues facing society today: educational inequality. A poor experience of education can have extensive impacts, such as not being able to go to university or increasing the likelihood of unemployment. It affects so many pupils around the country, and it's something that we are determined to improve.
Based at the University of Warwick, our growing society of keen volunteers provides students the opportunity to plan their futures and consider Higher Education.
If you would like further information regarding educational inequality, the video below is a useful introduction.

So, what do we actually do?
We deliver on our goal through engaging workshops for the schools in the local Coventry / Warwickshire area. In our sessions, we encourage the students to increase their aspirations, and they in turn ask us questions about our experiences. Through these, we explain Higher Education in a fun, interactive, and informative way.
We work within small teams which train, plan, and deliver these workshops together. Everyone is also part of the wider WarwickInspire community which meets at socials, fundraising opportunities, and informative events throughout the year.

We also run an annual Warwick Inspire + Conference, which is our biggest event of the year! It is designed to empower all those who attend to take the next step towards their dream profession. A vast range of inspiring speakers from all walks of life come together to share their experiences and guide us. Besides delivering powerful speeches, they also conduct smaller workshops to tend to the attendees questions.

And finally, how can you get involved?
Undergraduates and postgraduates from any discipline are more than welcome to apply for the scheme. You can join the society with a free membership on the Warwick SU website if you want to follow our updates and get information about socials.
Following recruitment of volunteers, we will facilitate DBS checks and training workshops during term one/two, before assigning you to a local school around your timetable. We understand the academic commitments that students have, and will ensure that any commitments will not impinge on them.
The Warwick SU will provide support, guidance and resources to help you get the most out of the Inspire scheme. Participation in the scheme will also be recorded on the Student's Higher Education Achievement Report, which students will receive at the end of their degrees.
