Feast on a welcome dinner of traditional British food, like fish and chips, and listen to a trip briefing led by your guide.

Head to the Barbican Centre and get creative with a hands-on session focusing on the world of start-ups. The class will divide into groups and brainstorm 1-2 ideas for a start-up company, aided by the guide. Afterwards, make your way to the Bank of England, the beating heart of the UK’s economy. Learn about the role of the bank and why its work is vital for the health of our economy from a member of staff.

Day 7: Pitch your start-up idea

Morning

Remember the start-up ideas you brainstormed at the beginning of the week? Well, now’s the chance to show off everything you’ve learned.
