Art Section Update

Hi guys
I just wanna let you know what's going on Art section.

1. I'm working on review of Chinese Art exhibition in Saatchi gallery.
2. I'll contact an artist called Sigrid Holmwood with Beatice's help(thanks)
3. I'm contacting an artist who is a student in CSM. He's going to have an exhibition in CSM and tomorrow is the opening so I'm going there.

I'm a bit worried about 3. though in terms of not really fitting into "international" or "social concious" themes. Give me some opinion and if you haven't got any issue I'll proceed.
Thank you.

Feedback on interview questions

Hi,

I've been going through different questions to ask Lotta, my friend who has worked for Ecpat. Please take a look and get back to me if you have any questions that you think I should add. She's a good friend so if some of the questions seem a bit vague or strange it is probably because I already know a lot about her work already and just want her to answer the questions in her own words...

It would be really helpful if you think of any more questions. I plan on emailing her tomorrow evening.


Thanks, B

What were your initial incentives for joining Ecpat?

You have been on the international board for the past two years as the youth representative. How important is it to the organization that that specific youth representative is a member of the board? How does it affect the organization?

Are the people in Ecpat mostly your age or is the age-span wider? What backgrounds do people have? And how does their various backgrounds affect the work within the organization.

Second Posting

I am hoping with this post, you will all be sent an invitation to participate.

Communication Stage Complete

Hello Perspective(s),

Our communication stage is near completion. All we need now is Christian and Zhen to sign up for gmail and we are golden.

I established our email. It is perspectives.global@gmail.com. All other variations were already taken. This can be used on all postings, fliers and as a 'professional email' for the group during the project. I will email the password separately so we can all check it.

I have created a calendar with initial deadlines and project space that has been allocated. I believe we can all add to it as needed. I would like to add a few social events that might potentially be relevant to our project. If anyone has any ideas, throw them up.

I will be in touch soon.
