Creative Forces Day 2027 - Register your interest

Thank you for your interest in the Creative Forces Day programme, delivered by Anglia Ruskin University.

Designed for Service Children (both current and former) in Years 7-13, Creative Forces Day helps students explore their unique identity, recognise the strengths and skills developed through life in a military family, and consider how these can support future educational and career aspirations.

Students will meet current university students from similar backgrounds, providing relatable role models and insight into higher education. Through interactive workshops, student-led activities and tailored guidance from the Schools and Colleges Engagement Team, participants will gain a first-hand experience of university life while receiving support that addresses the unique challenges often faced by Service Children.
