Demonstrations and Activities
Students take part in one of our experience days
The Department of Psychology runs a range of public activities and events that aim to unlock people’s enthusiasm for thinking critically about how their minds work and what governs their choices, experiences, and behaviour. Groups we work with include school children, teachers, charities, and children or adults with specific developmental or mental health difficulties. Please contact the Outreach Team on psychology-get-involved@bath.ac.uk for further information.
We always welcome suggestions for more activities and events which are of interest to people in our community. If you would like to develop an activity in conjunction with us please contact the Outreach Team on psychology-get-involved@bath.ac.uk.
