How can I talk to parents about the programme?

Parents are enthusiastic about the idea of their children developing their transferable skills. They like that the programme supports the next stage of study, and they appreciate that good universities favour the development of these skills.

Parents have told us that they see a difference in their children when they come home from Cambridge Global Perspectives classes. They describe how they ask more - and better – questions and are more engaged with current global issues and local and international news.

It’s a good idea to tap into this enthusiasm and interest. Show parents examples of how the skills can be applied in other contexts such as in different subject areas. You can also show them practical applications that they can relate to e.g. improving research skills, presentation skills, group work and negotiation skills and so on.
