Ideas Foundation
A couple of weeks ago we did some work with a couple of GCSE students from
Hananya and Rachel both came to us through the Ideas Foundation. They run programmes designed to connect the creative industry with young people and offer them the chance to do work experience in companies that they may not previously considered.
The girls were given a theoretical brief: trying to get more young people into running for Nike.
After a week of visits they then worked in our library for a couple of days and really impressed us with their thinking. Their idea went way beyond just using the space on the roof; instead they thought about an event and how to promote that in different channels as well as a very cool installation.
Their idea even included t-shirts. Here they are wearing a couple that they designed themselves….
The girls really impressed us with their creative thinking and understanding of the audience. They then had to go and present and did an amazing job.
They were narrowly beaten by another team but did get a special mention from the judges. We reckon their idea was brilliant and hope they enjoyed their visit.
