Transition Year Workshops

Transition Year Law Workshops:

Our workshops can be delivered onsite and virtually.

We also advise and encourage a blended learning approach of adding one of our eLearning courses – 21st century, self-directed learning using cross platform devices.

Our eLearning courses deliver content in which the student engages with the material through animation, videos. graphics, visuals, scenarios, activation questions and quizzes.

Workshops can be run over:

  • 2-hour workshops
  • 4-hour workshop (mock trial optional)

We cater for individual class sizes and can also accommodate larger groups.

We undertake to work parallel with individual school requirements to design and develop workshops that respond to the needs of each transition year group.

LawEd is today one of the premier providers of transition year law workshops having worked now with thousands of students nationwide. We have an exemplary record on the people side of the profession as educators, trainers and content makers. Year after year we return to the same schools as our testimonials speak for themselves

All the above courses are delivered in a very interactive, teenager centred friendly manner. With so much mis-information out there especially across social media channels we are a respected and trusted resource enhancing legal literacy, life skills and social education.

At all times we have an open floor for debate and viewpoints which leads to a very engaging and interactive workshop for all involved.

We believe through debate and open conversation students will gain a fuller understanding of the personal implications of their actions and behaviours as well as their rights.

Young people understanding and engaging with the law is our core objective.
