KidZania London is set to host its next Careers Festival from 21-25 November 2022. 

A week of broadening horizons and showing students how what they learn in the classroom can lead to an exciting future - the Careers Festival is also an opportunity for students to meet industry giants from the world of work. 

 

At KidZania, in Westfield London, kids enter an indoor replica ‘city’ where they can try a range of fun and educational jobs, from being an aeroplane pilot, to a journalist, radio DJ, or even an animator in the Pokémon Studio. The immersive experience aims to give children the freedom to be whoever they want by experiencing different jobs they might not know exist, all while playing and interacting with other children.

 

The Careers Festival is a special event where kids can not only explore up to four hours of these activities but also meet various inspiring professionals who are around the city, ready to chat to children about their careers. With a large range of industry partners – from the Fire Brigade to Water Aid – kids can get inspired for their futures. 

 

Whether your focus is on development and wellbeing or providing an end-of-term treat, a visit to KidZania allows pupils to see the value of learning a wide range of curriculum subjects while boosting communication skills, supporting self-esteem, and promoting positive emotional health. 

 

Children who visit five or more professions at the festival will receive an additional five kidZos (the KidZania currency). At the end of the festival, students can decide how to spend the currency or opt to save them for their next visit.

 

Bethany White, Head of Sales said: ‘We are delighted to welcome back the Careers Festival to inspire the next generation. At KidZania, we believe that kids need to be empowered, and so we are thrilled to be broadening their horizons once again with another Careers Festival where they can meet real life professionals giving them the invaluable opportunity to spark their curiosity by asking questions’.
