Applemore College is proud to be hosting an evening with the famous historian and broadcaster Dan Snow on Wednesday 17th June at 7pm. Dan’s career includes working for the BBC, being the author of many books and creating podcasts about historical events. He was born and raised in London and remembers, as a child, being taken every weekend to castles, country houses, battle elds and churches, which lead him to develop a great love of history. Dan’s television career began presenting a series of military history programmes with his father Peter Snow. Since then he has worked on numerous documentaries for the BBC ranging from “China’s rst Emperor and his Terracotta Army” to “How the Royal Navy made the Modern World”. In 2022 he was part of the Antarctic expedition which set out to nd Shackleton’s lost ship Endurance, which sank in 1915. Amazingly they discovered the ship 100 years to the day of Shackleton’s funeral. If you would like to meet Dan Snow and hear more about his travels and experiences, tickets priced at £15 including a glass of wine or so drink are available from: www.theambitiousforallfoundation.org.uk All proceeds of the evening will go towards e Ambitious for All Foundation. e aim of the charity is to enable Applemore students to widen their horizons, increase their self esteem and con dence, by participating in experiences which are not part of the school curriculum and which they otherwise would not be able to access. Activities this year have included funding workshops to help students manage the challenges of being a teenager today, a Science, Engineering and Technology Day where students learnt to program robots, a Multicultural Applemore College and The Ambitious for All Foundation presents: An Evening with Dan Snow Arts Days where, amongst other challenges, they learnt to play African drums, a French and Spanish theatre performance and a trip to No 10 Downing Street.
