It was a good session today.
Daz’s working his socks off and seems to be enjoying himself. Corey and James got started on designing a logo for the site. So i’m looking forward to seeing it when it’s finished.
Good news on the funding front! I’ve presented, picketed and pleaded, and finally got people to listen to what we are doing and aiming to do in the future. But we’ve managed to get the nod!
Onwards and upwards!
We had a really good session yesterday, although very busy.
We had some new starters so we were trying to get bedded in by completing initial advice & guidance and benefits sessions, and introducing them to what Engage can offer them.
We were also visited by Jane Williams from Connexions’ X-press newsletter who are to do a feature on the Engage project. Word is getting around!
Me and Tanuja are presenting to the board this afternoon to secure the funding for Engage and continue the good work until March next year. Wish us luck!!!
A quiet day today, but at least that gave us a chance to get some of the other practitioners up to speed on what we are doing and discuss development ideas. We agreed that a ‘practitioners’ page’ would be a good idea so that we can share information/best practice etc. We also agreed that we need to be mindful of confidential information.
Engage is back from the Christmas break. It seems like ages since i last blogged.
It’s been a quiet start to the new year for Engage as we have few attendees. Most of the young people who attended at the end of 08 have moved on into ETE-which is great as that is what we are here for!
We’ve spent most of today’s session coming up with ideas for developing Engage. Jon has added an RSS link so everyone can subscribe and keep up to date with any news and changes.
That’s it for now.
Have a great new year!
