A brand-new series of free after-school sessions for Camden secondary students aged 14 to 16 has been launched at the borough's Opportunity Centres, from Monday 24 November to Friday 5 December 2025. Food and drinks will be provided at each session.

The programme aims to ignite curiosity, build real-world skills and empower young people in Camden to explore unconventional and exciting topics beyond the classroom. There's something for everyone - whether you're dreaming of becoming a tech innovator, fashion designer, financial guru, or creative marketeer, we have something for you.

The activity sessions - which run at Haverstock School, La Sainte Union Catholic School and Euston Skills Centre - are open to all students aged 14 to 16 who attend any state secondary school in Camden and / or live in the borough. Opportunity Centres provide after-school and holiday learning opportunities through activities that students can’t access in school. These new sessions will give you a taste of what is on offer.
