A Little help from my Friend
Hi All,
Wow I have done so much on my blog in the last two days, as well as catching up on all those people blogs from our class that I am following- leaving comments and finding articles that relate to what they are doing.
So a new addition that I am actually very proud of- I have added some photos that I have on my computer of Christian's art work that is in my office.
Also I thought I would do something a bit creative for my blog to explain my journal, so I have added a page that I have used pictures to help explain my journey- please have a look.
But like all things that are good you don't usually do it alone- so I need to say a massive thank you to Theresa . Theresa not only helped me get it started, but last night spent hours whilst we added and moved things on my blog, and again has stretched my skills further than I imagined I could go.
Thanks again Theresa
Bye for today Karen

Email follow up with Artist
Hi Christian,
Not sure if you are checking your emails, I know that you are posting on your web page saw the photos.
I have heard from Bron and she is saying it in this coming Sunday full day is the only possibility for the workshop or alternatively she has suggested:
The other idea was do we maybe have Christian there on the day (23rd May) showing what he does and have people sign up for it then, and then just have another day when we get together and have a stall to sell these?
Let me know asap so I can let her know.

My reply to Brons email
Hi Bron,
Wow that great, and great contingency plan.
I will email Christian now and see what he thinks.
I will get back to you as soon as I hear from him.
If he is able to do this Sunday, what the best way to get you, as being a short week we have a short time to get the participants- and I don't want to stress you with too much extra work,.
So if I can do anything at the school to help you this week let me know.
My phone contacts are below, or you can text me and I will call you.

Reply from Bron
Hey Karen,
I talked to the principle on Thursday and she is supportive of the idea, although is concerned about the time line we have to work with.
I still have to talk to the head of our Arts department, and I am doing that on Tuesday, she has been away for the last 3 days of last week, but is expecting me then.
If we do get the full go ahead, would you be ready to do it next sunday? (as in 7 days time), cause if we dont do i then, then we won't have 2 full days before the 23rd
The other idea was do we maybe have Christian there on the day showing what he does and have people sign up for it then, and then just have another day when we get together and have a stall to sell these?
Let me know what would be best!!
Cheers Bron

Hi all,
I agree the guest speaker was great. However for me the answer to Lynda's questions lay else where in todays class.
I was surprised by the amount of different study areas that is in this class. I could see clear and strong connections in some of them in the philosophy and others that I was not expecting.
Whilst I didn't talk to everyone, those that I did speak to it was clear that the motivation for community development is the similar to my own.
What makes me hopeful is the same thing that surprsed me- the varitey of study areas we come from. If in this arena of learning we can come together, learn, challenge, and grow then the future of community development holds great possibilities.
It brings closer the possiblities - not just here but world wide- of bring about change through community development.

Hi Everyone
Welcome to our discussion board. Staring at a blank page is not very inpsiring so I thought I'd start things off this week by posing a couple of reflective questions to you:
Thinking about our week 1 workshop:
1. What's something that surprised you? and/or
2. What's something that gives you hope?
Over to you

Hi Karen,
I'm quite interested to read more about your project (thanks for following my blog as well-though I'm really just getting started).
I have been involved as a youth in these programs and am currently through my project working with a Youth Development organization which will hopefully culminated to raising and securing additional funds. Part of my project as well is engaging the youth in a way in which they too can feel empowered over the future or the program and have fun while doing it! I've already had one idea shot down, point blank, but the risks were there and seen to be too great, however, we may soon be running with a County wide collective project in which the youth make in the program work together to create a film or book with their feelings about the program (i.e. what it has done for them, what they enjoy most, and the impact it has had on them--this part may be reflective for older members of the youth organization or for past members). But again, this will be primarily coordinated by the youth, so I'm quite excited to get going.
All research I've done on youth engagement has also pointed clearly to it leading them in a direction to continue to be civically engaged and motivated. There are some great links through the United States State Department website as well as the latest research report published by National 4-H (4-H.org). Take a peek if you are looking for more data. Also, if you have any resources you have tapped for such information, I would love to hear from you.
Good Luck Karen! I hope to hear from you soon.
Cheers,
Alex

My project has organically led to what it should achieve and that is ways to address Social Inclusion and Social Justice through engaging Young people as agents of change.
In developing my plan for the project it helped form a structure around what this project is actually aiming to achieve.
Whilst the project first big event is to raise money, the connection between the school and the youth service has continued to strengthen.
All the research I did indicated that young people who become actively involved in civic and political issues are more likely to be involved in these issues as adults.
This is fantastic prospect for our future – getting a long term commitment to issues of social inclusion and social justice. Influencing young people who will end up in a variety walks of lives and careers (e.g. judges, teachers, politicians, stockbrokers, bankers and IT), who will be advocates on these issues.
The future is promising.
