TAWARA SUMMER SCHOOLS

Produced By: Marwan Mohammed
Every year our summer schools attract hundreds of people from all over the world. With an unbeatable
mix of subject range, teaching quality and academic content, our programmes provide a lively, bustling
learning environment where curiosity, influence and illumination are everyday occurrences.

As a participant, you will be guided by leading academics and encouraged to discuss, debate and
develop your own understanding of the issues raised in class. You will be inspired to think and reason in
a different way, and to learn and develop new skills. It is a very special experience and one that we hope
you will enjoy.
