Abstract
Children’s University commenced in Tasmania in 2015. It creates opportunities and
encourages children to try new experiences, develop new interests and acquire new skills
through participation in innovative and creative activities at validated Learning Destinations.
Twenty-five young Tasmanians and their families/carers will join the Children’s University
Tasmania team in a unique experiential learning opportunity at the Symposium.
Evaluations of the Children’s University in the UK and in Australia indicate its positive
influence on attainment, attendance and attitudes to learning. Preliminary evaluation results
from Tasmania will be shared with the children and their families/carers and they will be able to reflect on the 2016 graduation ceremony and their engagement in the program.
Parent and child perspectives will be shared during an interactive, strengths based
discussion.
