Festina Lente Essay Award and competitive university applications
Offering in-depth support online and in person! Essay competitions, university applications and Festina Lente Essay Award
About Us
Speed up slowly, our motto...
We believe that it is not only important to focus on how to get into university, but also to prepare for how to do well within higher education once you arrive. Greater emphasis on university applications, in schools, due to time and resource constraints, often results in providing students with less support on how to make a successful transition to university studies. Our competitions and educational learning packages, such as essay competitions and the Festina Lente Essay Award, are designed to build skills and experiences which simultaneously enhance competitiveness for applications whilst also incorporating knowledge in preparation for making the transition to university.
Relaxed Snail was born out of the need to support students (and schools) in being able to submit high quality applications when applying to competitive university courses. It is not only about obtaining a strong set of predicted grades, but a competitive application needs to stand out from the crowd by highlighting academic passion and curiosity with a broad portfolio of unique and exciting experiences. Relaxed Snail is here to fill the gap in offering a more holistic and refined careers education, information, advice and guidance (CEIAG) provision whilst also specialising in application strategy.
YouTube and free PDF downloads
A large part of Relaxed Snail's delivery can be found on our YouTube channel. Soon we will be releasing a video every Sunday and topics include subject-specific advice (e.g. submitting university applications for Medicine, Law or Engineering), more general support (e.g. writing a winning personal statement and successfully participating in essay competitions), revision techniques and self-development, career insights and interviews with leading public figures. The YouTube videos will often introduce our free resources to support students' CEIAG provision and application success. We will also be producing more material for the Festina Lente Essay Award.
Other services (workshops, masterclasses and essay competitions)
Relaxed Snail does not just exist online. Our team deliver bespoke workshops and educational learning packages in schools, including for the Festina Lente Essay Award. These have been designed to support students, however, we also offer a broad range of workshops for senior leaders and school staff (examples include implementing in-house work experience provision, university applications and establishing academic competitions, such as essay competitions). We have received substantial interest in our Festina Lente Essay Award and will try our best in visiting schools to provide more information.
