University Residential - Blog Day 2

Day 2 of the summer University Residential saw our young people further broadening their horizons.

We woke up early, had breakfast in the main hall and then we headed to campus. Then we had the politics workshop. Some of us liked the climate questions because they made us think about the environment. There was a funny moment when we found out that Wendy used to be into Punk.

The main attraction on campus was when we found out that there was a Starbucks! We bought some delicious Frappes even though the weather was awful. After lunch we headed over to Attenborough Arts where we learned about different types of art, wrote our own poem and we got to make our own art pieces.

And now we are off to dinner!
