A few months ago edEnlighten had the pleasure of building a partnership with an incredible organisation called D.Y.F. (Design Your Future). Since our partnership began we have obtained training and work space in Edinburgh City Council Chambers, and have been given the opportunity to work alongside the council on community social innovation projects. We are now excited to announce recruitment for the first intake of students and recent graduates to the D.Y.F. training programme and community for the 2016/2017 academic year!

Send an email to [email protected] to express your interest and come along to one of the awareness sessions! We are welcoming students and recent graduates of various backgrounds and experience levels who have a desire to grow personally, as well as to develop the skills that will help them to succeed and build a better world in the 21st Century.

A reminder of all the unacknowledged hard work that goes into success is an important message for the new school year.
