How to take part

Kent childrens university logoSo, you've looked at what's on offer and decided you want to take part! Follow the six easy steps below to become part of the scheme.

  1. Contact Kent Children's University and request a Passport To Learning.  Each Passport costs £3.50. We need your name, address, date of birth, phone number or email address  and the name of the school you attend. This information is stored securely on a password-protected database and will never be shared with another organisations without your permission.
  2. When you receive your passport fill it in and remember to keep it safe. If you lose it any credits you have already earned will be lost. You must take care of it as though it was a real passport. 
  3. Use the Learning Destinations website to decide which attractions you want to visit. Always check with the venue that it will be open before you set off. Also remember to see what clubs your school might offer that are affiliated to the scheme. Remember that if you attend an affiliated school many of the out-of-school-clubs it offers will earn you credits also.
  4. On arrival show the staff your Learning Destinations Passport and ask for the Learning Destinations activity booklet. Follow the instructions it contains and learn exciting information at the venue. Write your answers in the booklet 
  5. When you have finished show your booklet to the staff at the main entrance. They will check it and stamp your passport. 
  6. Visit other venues around the county until you have completed thirty credits. Once you've earned your thirty credits return the passport to Kent Children's University. We will then send you a certificate to accredit your work. This goes to your school. Your head teacher will present it to you in an assembly.
