Finham students visit Citroën Stellantis to discuss and critique their new EVs
This week, Finham students engaged in the ‘Future generations research project’. They were representing future generations and the school in a partnership with Citroën UK and Big issue.
During the visit, the students explored the technical aspects and benefits of electric cars including the new Citroën ë-C3 and Citroën AMI. They posed questions on sustainability and how it is integrated into automotive engineering to Citroën’s UK Managing & Marketing Directors. The media team were blown away by how articulate and confident our students from Years 7, 8 and 9 were in discussing and critiquing the vehicles with adults that they had only just met.
The outcome of the day will be printed and distributed around the UK (edited by automotive journalist, road tester and presenter Vicky Parrott) in the Big Issue (helping and supporting the homeless). They will also create a 3-minute media clip for Citroën UK.
This is the start of a special working relationship with Citroën. They've agreed to sponsor two of Finham Park School's Robotics teams in the VEX IQ Robotics competition 2025/2026.
A once in a lifetime opportunity that the pupils will never forget!
