This interactive workshop introduces students to the fast-paced world of hospitality and tourism. We invite students to explore the human side of hospitality through Bodyswaps, a cutting-edge VR platform that transforms how we learn communication, empathy and leadership.
In the fast-paced world of hospitality and tourism, technical skills get you in the door, but it’s your soft skills that keep guests coming back.
This interactive outreach session invites students to explore the human side of hospitality through Bodyswaps, a cutting-edge VR platform that transforms how we learn communication, empathy and leadership.
Participants will step into realistic scenarios, from handling a difficult guest to navigating team dynamics and practice responding
with confidence. With instant AI powered feedback and a safe space to learn from mistakes, Bodyswaps empowers students to build emotional intelligence, hone customer service skills and prepare for real-world challenges in the industry.
Whether pupils are curious about a career in hospitality or looking to sharpen your interpersonal skills, this session offers a glimpse into the future of learning, where you don’t just watch or listen, you experience.
A session plan can be found on the Arden Community Outreach website.

Arden University is committed to actively engaging with schools, colleges, education providers, and community groups. Our activities are specifically designed to empower groups traditionally under-represented in Higher Education, helping bridge the gap for students from diverse backgrounds and supporting their academic journey.
We also offer bespoke talks and workshops, including academic subject masterclasses, upon request. While priority is given to Arden Aspire partners, we encourage all UK schools, colleges, and community groups to reach out and discuss your specific requirements.
All activities must be delivered to a proportion of students from less advantaged backgrounds.
