About the Organisation

Educating Beyond Borders is building the UK’s first floating campus — our flagship for our institute and a mobile education and community space responding to student isolation, housing insecurity, and mental health risk during campus closures.

Our winter floating campus has attracted a growing community of 70 student members, confirmed sponsorship interest, and active partnerships with student unions. We are now preparing to scale delivery year-round.
