Project Connect

 

Project Connect is made up of 5 components: Responsibility, Purpose, Self Development, Consistency and Respect. The purpose of these are to develop a variety of vital skills, in order for me to become more employable in the near future, and a more well rounded person. Additionally it will provide me with more confidence and a general structure which I can use within college to make me a better student. In the meantime the 5 departments of Project Connect will optimise my team working skills, problem solving, positive attitude and general motivation to strive and succeed in my personal and work life.

Today, the 20th September, I worked in a group of 3 to represent and practice team work. Our goal as a team was to recognise and capture all of the 5 main attributes around college and the local community. We had two hours to complete this task and we did it by taking pictures of objects, which we as a team decided fitted the individual adjective, we also interviewed other college students on their opinions behind Project Connect. As well as this we explored the college in search for Project Connect posters in which we can evaluate at a later date. All in all me and my team walked around the college, then around the gardens behind and then eventually we found a welcoming park to sit and explore our imaginations. All in all enlightening us on photography and verbal communication to a mixture of people.

The purpose of this was to be able to collect information, photos and ideas for a poster about Project Connect, what it means to us and how others can interpret it. But first of all we are going to make a mood board, featuring todays gatherings, to kick start the process and our creativity.
