The Discovery Summer School is an event aimed at giving young people with Asperger Syndrome the chance to experience student life in a safe and supported environment. The summer school includes an overnight stay in halls of residence, where students are paired with university student buddies to take part in everyday student activities - including shopping for food, cooking dinner in student flats, going out for a meal, taking different forms of transport, attending a social event and finding their way around the campus. The summer school is located at Cardiff University and is funded by First Campus, a partnership of all the higher education institutions in South East Wales. Therefore, students attending do not need to be interested specifically in courses at Cardiff University.

Aimed at: Adult
