The Dialogue Society Success School aims to help inspire, encourage and equip young people to aspire to and work towards success. Participants will be challenged to think differently about their prospects, both in terms of the educational and career options available to them and in terms of the levels of achievement for which they can aim in their chosen field.
To this end the school will provide inspiration, encouragement and advice through the stories of a range of successful professionals. It will also help participants to explore and understand the factors which make for success, provide valuable tips and teach some crucial skills.
Further, the School will establish a network to provide participants with ongoing support, advice and networking opportunities.
The School’s main target audience will be young people of 16-21 years of age, and the Dialogue Society will initially advertise in North London, particularly in the Islington area. We hope to welcome participants from a range of cultural and ethnic backgrounds.
The Success School will operate through a series of 7 sessions exploring the underlying dynamics, causes and methods of success. Sessions will comprise an initial presentation, Q&A and time for informal discussion and networking over refreshments.
Each presentation will either:
Participants will be able to meet in person with the speakers and engage with them on a more personal level. They will also have time to get to know each other and Dialogue Society staff informally over refreshments after each session, building a supportive network.

The sessions will be held in the evening, during weekdays and are expected to attract an audience of between 40 and 50 participants.
