Free activities for children and young people to learn new skills and make new friends

Summerversity is back and larger than ever, with more than 100 courses to help children and young people enjoy their summer, learn new skills and make new friends: from sports, arts and cooking to music, tech and media.

Launchpad, a branch of Summerversity for young people aged 16 and up, will help teenagers safely socialise with others and gain skills and experiences that will boost their CV and guide them towards employment, training or further education.

Most courses are suitable for complete beginners, and all venues are accessible. A free lunch will be available with many of the courses. All activities are free for young people aged 13-plus who live or go to school in Islington.
