On Wednesday 7th June 2006 Youth FM Members, Dan, Sophie and Vithuran went to the Summer University Conference in Bethnal Green. They met many ministers such as Andrew Adonis and Rex Hall (MBE)

Here is a slideshow of some pictures from the day!

The Government will provide £2m of new funding to help boroughs and voluntary organisations set up their own summer universities. DfES also expects to announce a generous offer shortly from a charitable foundation which will provide a further significant boost to this project.

Thousands of 11-16 year olds in boroughs across London will have the chance to learn and have fun throughout the summer through this new network of innovative Summer Universities. They will provide a wide range of courses such as new media, performing and visual arts, music, study and explore, work zone, sports and fitness, information technology, personal development, entertainment and peer volunteer initiatives.
