Rise’s Top Picks

We understand that you have a couple of weeks to finish off your assessments, and have Easter egg hunts with your siblings which is why we are focusing on Self Study kits you can do anytime, anywhere. Self Study is a great opportunity for you to learn new things at your own pace, fill up free time, and build up your Rise points and transcript. There are hundreds of self study kits you can choose from which is why we have picked out our favourite few to pair with the Easter break:

How To Be…Effectively You

Our How to be…effectively you self study kit is all about (you guessed it) YOU. This course guides you through your future, your beliefs, and your visions. If you’re unsure about what any of them are then this is a great place to start and get your mind thinking about all these amazing features of yourself. This self study kit is slightly different as we encourage you to go through one day at a time, which makes it the perfect activity to do over Easter!

DIY Games

A beginner’s guide to game design. Our DIY Games self study kit helps you learn how to express your ideas and feelings through personal games by turning old games into new ones, using stuff you already have at home. Making a game is such a creative way to take time away from the assessment stress, and potentially give you the motivation you need as deadlines are nearer. This self study is also very enjoyable and may be that one thing you need on a rainy day at your parents house.

Volunteering and Service Learning Passport

Thinking of doing some volunteering once your deadlines have surpassed? Our Volunteering and Service Learning Passport is the perfect place to learn more about volunteering and ways to prepare yourself before you start. The course details the impact of volunteering for you and the community, but it also gives you the space to acknowledge the reasons why you want to volunteer. Still on the fence? Read Rise’s top ‘Three Reasons Why You Should Volunteer‘.

We have so many more Self Study kits you can do inbetween home friend catch-ups and Easter egg eating. We also have our third term projects coming up so take a read of what you can get involved in after Easter:Rise x Future Me at Manchester Met (mmu.ac.uk)
