The Community Rail Education Network met on Wednesday 19 March to hear from Network Rail about the ‘Emily the Engineer’ programme, and how it can be used to support community rail members with their STEM youth engagement work. The recording and resources from the meeting can be found here: Emily the Engineer Campaign – TrainEd.  

The next session will be held on Wednesday 23 April, 10-11am. Attendees will hear from High Peak & Hope Valley CRP who will share some updates on their latest projects, and there will also be time for some discussion and planning around this year’s Rail Safety Week.

All notes, resources and recordings from previous meetings are available to view on the Education Network website. 

The Education Network is open to anyone with an interest in railway education. If you would like to join the Network and attend any of the upcoming meetings, or if you have any education or youth engagement matters you would like to discuss, please contact Karen Bennett on karen@communityrail.org.uk.
