Our Photography students have been working on a live brief with the Pioneer Sailing Trust, based in Brightlingsea, creating photography for the charity to use across its website and social media. 🌊

Yesterday, students spent the day at Harker’s Yard, exploring the workshops, meeting apprentices and even heading out onto the water to photograph the Trust’s impressive 70ft Essex Smack.

This was fantastic opportunity for our students to gain real-world experience, respond to a live client brief and see how their creative work can make a difference. 📷

We're delighted to continue supporting the Ring-tailed Lemur habitat at Colchester Zoo for a second year!

It's a pleasure to play a part in supporting wildlife conservation and helping to protect endangered species. Thank you for the opportunity to be involved!

We would like to say a big thank you to Colchester Institute who are kindly supporting our Ring-tailed Lemur habitat at Lost Madagascar for the second year.

Ring-tailed lemurs are currently listed as Endangered on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species and are unfortunately hunted for the pet trade as well as habitat loss being one of their biggest threats out in the wild.

Corporate Sponsors, like Colchester Institute, play a key role in the conservation of endangered species like the ring-tailed lemur by helping us to support projects around the globe. Why not become a corporate sponsor and help support conservation worldwide!🌎

As the largest provider of Further and Higher Education in North Essex, Colchester Institute is proud to provide professional development and technical skills training to over 10,000 young people and adults each year. With a wide portfolio of courses on offer, the College supports individuals to launch or develop their careers, and local businesses to access the skills and talent they need to thrive.
