The Eloqui team was with Bashy, London’s grime and hip hop artist and Dan Davies, the UK 110m Hurdles Junior Champion, yesterday to launch the start of registration for this year’s Summer Uni London. Eloqui client Summer Uni London is an annual programme of 40,000 free course places for young people across Greater London, running over the summer. The courses cover over 1,000 subjects, including music, business and media studies, scuba diving, Manga art culture, Rocket Ball, Football, Belly Dancing, Japanese and rowing. There are extra places available this year for young people with special needs as well as male and female only courses. The courses range from one hour to six weeks and are being held in all 32 London boroughs. They are available for young people between the ages of 8 and 25.

"Our research shows that over 70 per cent of young people worry about feeling bored and having nothing to do over the summer holidays, so our free courses are a great way to meet new friends, learn new skills and have fun,” said Summer Uni Executive Director, Sarah Davies. To enrol for free Summer Uni courses, young people and parents should visit the website: http://www.summerunilondon.org/. or contact their local London Borough.
