Session 1 - Introduction To Campaigning and Communications

Update
We had an introductory session the previous week to this session. During that session we discussed some ideas about what sort of campaign that we wanted to do. We decided that we wanted to create a short film.


Introductions
As this was officially our first session we started off with introductions.

Ice-breaker
We did an ice-breaker which was a ball throwing game, which we had to say our name and then throw the ball to someone else and then say their name. This was a really good way to remember everybody's names.

Looking at other films/campaigns
We looked at an example of  another film/campaign which is similar to what we want to do . We discussed; Who the audience was, what the message was, what was good about it and what was bad about it.

Planning our campaign (form filling)
We discussed different elements of our campaign and what we need to decide before we can create our short film.

Who is it for?
- Young people at secondary school.

What is the message?
- Don't bully others, it's ok to ask for help.

Why is it important?
- To help raise awareness of bullying and help to prevent it from happening.

What would you want people to DO about it?

- To tell someone if they are getting bullied and if someone sees somebody getting bullied to get them to tell somebody.

Our basic storyline:
One student is sat eating their lunch in the school corridor. A  group of friends walk from one direction and a group of bullies from another, then a stand off begins.

We started our proposal form.

Evaluation
We finished up the session by filling in our evaluation forms.
