EVC of the Year Award
Are you, or do you know, an excellent EVC?
EVOLVE Advice has launched a new international
award to recognise and celebrate EVCs who make
a lasting impact through educational visits. Entries
will be assessed by a panel of judges who are
looking for leadership and compliance, impact on
pupils, innovation and enrichment, and professional
development and legacy.
The winner will receive £1500 in funding to spend on
educational visits for their school as well as a goody
bag, trophy and a funded place at the National
Educational Visits Conference.
The deadline is 30 November – so nominate
a colleague (or yourself) today at
