LIYSF vs Reading For Pleasure

The London International Youth Science Forum CIC (LIYSF CIC) offers a two-week STEM summer camp in the UK, held both online and in-person, at Imperial College London & The Royal Geographical Society. Each year, 500 students aged 16-21 years old from 70 countries enjoy our 15-day STEM summer camp, with lecture demonstrations from leading scientists, scientific visits to world-class laboratories and scientific universities, combined with international cultural interaction. Founded in 1959, the London International Youth Science Forum is a STEM summer camp in the UK, that aims to give a deeper insight into science and its applications for the benefit of humankind. LIYSF CIC is a not-for-profit social enterprise. STEM careers have seen an unprecedented rise in the 21st century, and it is fair to assume our dependence on science and technology will increase in the years to come. Enrol in our STEM Summer Camp in the UK and get the opportunity to develop core skills like – communication, real-world problem-solving and analytical thinking.

Reading for Pleasure is a five-year pilot programme created by the Emirates Literature Foundation to foster a lifelong love of reading in children. The project seeks to engage students, parents, and teachers — otherwise known as the three points of the “education triangle” — with activities proven to help inspire a love of reading to create centres of reading excellence within select schools across the UAE. To measure the initiative’s effectiveness, the Foundation has partnered with Zayed University, UAE University, and Birmingham University (in both the UAE and the UK) to carry out in-depth research over the next five years. And to further optimise the project’s efforts, any feedback gathered will be used to refine the programme, allowing for potential upscaling down the line.
