Program 1: Explorer 2017 – Day 5

You’d be forgiven for thinking the Reach Cambridge team looked a little bit smarter than usual today… Normally we are used to pulling off a mixture of sports kits, loose summer trousers and orange T-shirts in the knowledge that we will be on our feet for most of the day.

Spring Program: Day 7

How is it the end of Week 1 already?! It was yet another jam-packed day for the Reach Spring students; and, for some of them, their last day on the Reach Spring program. The day’s classes were on the theme of ethical leadership. In the morning, the students considered the interplay between ethics
