Year eight pupils at a school in Didcot have taken part in a 'Human Library' event.
Held as part of National Careers Week, the event at Aureus School involved the pupils gathering information from 16 'living books'.
The ‘books’ were professionals representing a range of industries, who spoke about their respective careers to the students.
Assistant headteacher Carolyn Saul said: "A ‘Human Library’ aims to establish a positive framework and safe space for dialogue between ‘readers’ and a ‘Human Book’.
“The concept is based on small group conversation, rather than a presentation or lecture.
"It’s an engagement and interaction, a Q&A from a lived perspective.
"A Human Book is a person that volunteers to represent an industry available within our community and, based on their personal experiences, can answer questions from readers to help challenge what is being said, told or understood about the world of work."
This year, participants ranged from West End actor David Evans to careers coaches and probation service representatives.
Ms Saul added: "The year eights enjoyed being able to ask questions and find out more about how people came to be in their chosen roles."
Kirsty Rogers, headteacher at Aureus, said: "We are extremely grateful to the community for giving up their time to ignite the future aspirations of our students.
"We have had a lot of positive feedback from the industry professionals about the event and how our year eight cohort were excellent ambassadors for Aureus."
