The Maghreb Education UK Exhibition in Tunisia was held on Tuesday 27 January 2015 at the Tunis Science City. The event brought representatives from seven UK Education institutions to meet with Tunisian students and parents providing them with information on education opportunities, subject and pathway choices.
A visit to the American School was conducted prior to the exhibition with over 85 young students attending from Years 9, 10 and 11.
The total number of visitors registered at the exhibition was 600. In addition, an estimated 150 attended the opening of the exhibition without registering. This makes a total of 750 to the event.
The exhibition attracted a lot of media interest, with reporters from top mass-circulation newspapers, TV, radio and online coming to attend the opening ceremony of the event.
British Council Tunisia undertook a review of the exhibition to identify what went well, what did not go well, and the key ‘lessons learnt’ to inform future activities. With feedback from exhibitors and visitors, together with inputs from British Council colleagues, this post-event report presents the results of that review.
