From wildlife research to reserve management, Daniel from Askham Bryan College has immersed himself in the world of African conservation through his Turing Scheme-funded project at Zingela.

Giraffe identification, snare sweeps, invasive species removal, fish tagging, bird ringing and reptile monitoring are just some of the activities he has experienced, while also supporting visiting gap groups throughout their programmes.

But Daniel’s project has been about much more than practical conservation. Working alongside experienced professionals, discovering Zulu culture and taking on responsibilities with visiting groups have helped him develop his confidence, communication and leadership skills – while building valuable connections for his future.

In this video, Daniel looks back on what he describes as a “once-in-a-lifetime opportunity” and shares how the experience has broadened his knowledge and his ambitions for the next chapter of his life.

Well done, Daniel, for embracing every opportunity and representing Everything is Possible so brilliantly!

Henry and Milo from Askham Bryan College are taking part in a Turing Scheme-funded mechanics and engineering project in Aruba, putting their skills into practice in two very different working environments.

At De Palm’s garage, they have been servicing and repairing all-terrain vehicles, buses and off-road vehicles, tackling everything from oil and filter changes to CVT belts, clutches and fault diagnosis – before getting the opportunity to test-drive some of the vehicles they had worked on.

At Atlantis Submarines, they have discovered another side of engineering, helping prepare and charge the submarine while also supporting maintenance on the boats serving De Palm Island.

Beyond the technical experience, living in Aruba has also helped them develop their independence, budgeting skills and confidence while experiencing life in a completely different environment.

In this video, Henry and Milo take us behind the scenes of their project and share some of the practical and personal skills they have gained along the way.

Mason is taking part in a Turing Scheme-funded sports coaching project in Aruba, gaining experience across several very different environments on the island.

At Unistar, he coaches an Under-12 football team, helping young players develop their skills while strengthening his own coaching and communication abilities. He has also been working as a lifeguard, developing essential observation and communication skills in a completely different setting.

Another important part of Mason’s project has been supporting sports sessions at KIA, Aruba’s correctional institution, working with different groups of inmates and using sport as an opportunity to connect, exchange skills and learn from one another.

In this video, Mason takes us through his different activities and explains how working with people from different backgrounds and languages has helped him develop his confidence, communication and coaching skills.

Keira and Lana from @askhambryancollege are taking part in a Turing Scheme-funded animal management project in Aruba, working closely with flamingos, tortoises and other species at De Palm Island.

From daily animal care and monitoring flamingo behaviour to supporting veterinary activities, their project is giving them valuable hands-on experience while also allowing them to share their own knowledge with rangers and visitors.

Alongside their work, they have embraced Aruban life and culture – exploring the island, discovering its native wildlife and even learning Papiamento!

In this video, Keira and Lana take us behind the scenes of their project and share some of the experiences, skills and memories they have gained in Aruba.

Fern is taking part in a Turing Scheme-funded project in Aruba, where she is gaining hands-on experience with Atlantis Submarines while discovering the fascinating world of marine conservation.

From giving presentations on board to supporting submarine dives, Fern is learning how Aruba protects its coral reefs and marine ecosystems while balancing conservation with sustainable tourism.

“This has given me the best experience I could have asked for. I’m truly thankful to be here.”

In this video, Fern shares her experience, the incredible marine wildlife she has encountered and how this project is preparing her for her future studies in marine conservation.

After two incredible months in Aruba, Alfie and Jack are looking back on an experience that has helped them grow both personally and professionally.

Working at De Palm Tours and Atlantis Submarines, they gained hands-on experience maintaining ATVs, tour vehicles, boats and even taking part in a major submarine refit involving 264 batteries. One of the highlights of their project was joining a successful test dive after helping prepare the submarine for inspection.

“Since the beginning of this project, my confidence has grown massively.”

In this final video, Alfie and Jack reflect on the technical skills they have developed, the friendships they have made and how living and working abroad has given them greater confidence, independence and a new perspective on life.

We are incredibly proud of everything they have achieved throughout their placement. Thank you, Alfie and Jack, for representing Everything is Possible with such enthusiasm, professionalism and dedication.

After an incredible Turing Scheme-funded project in South Africa, Amelia and Sam are reflecting on an unforgettable experience.

Over the past weeks, they have contributed to wildlife conservation through giraffe monitoring, species research and field data collection, while also leading activities for visiting groups, developing new skills and immersing themselves in South African culture.

“Thank you so much for giving us this opportunity. It’s been a once-in-a-lifetime experience. It was incredible.”

In this final video, Amelia and Sam share what they have learned, how the project has shaped their future career ambitions and why this experience will stay with them for years to come.

We are incredibly proud of everything they have achieved and grateful for the enthusiasm, professionalism and passion they brought to their placement. Thank you, Amelia and Sam, for being fantastic ambassadors for Everything is Possible.
