Oli's Goals After The Social Entrepreneurship Course.

it's difficult to really be certain of the success of something that could eventually spark the global interest of people who want to emulate programs in places that introduce a whole new perspective for young people such as myself. My continual involvement in the visibility of the blog is to try and constantly maintain a constant flow of content to improve the SEO of every post and page, thus the traction for a blog or website is, in many cases, more widely known. I want to create because the feeling of having a role to deliver in advocating the concept of Edventure since it's exclusivity in other parts of the world

'The edblog'

Personally, the tool of the web is something I like to take advantage more by making my presence known on the web and begin with working in design and website management and eventually move to working for myself in utilising various different forms of media to somewhat create a brand that fits the character that best defines me. 

• The beginning stages of my brand has commenced with a long-awaited dream to have a podcast show with friends with similar topics of interest has going ahead, which already plans to go far if we ourselves, as consumers, are genuinely interested in listening to our own product and all of us collectively are dedicated to upload regularly.

Response from the 'Project: Roundhouse' Photo Album

On behalf of the Roundhouse group, Josh decided it would be worth sharing photos of his that depicted the process of the eventual finished structure with the planning & process to begin with and the various stages of construction. The photos was then uploaded as a album that the public could view imgur.com, originally intended to have an interactive gallery of these photos on this blog, I never knew the immense support from the imgur communtiy would show immense appreciation back on the website as the view count kept growing exponentially overnight. In just one day, the photo album on imgur accumulated an incredible 1800 views and is still growing from the continual support and interest of how a model with a reciprocal roof became a super-sized reality. This interest was shown evidently from the views but also went a step further to curiousity territory, as people shared their thoughts and questions, which overall drew a positive, as a well as a humourous response from both imgur and reddit (as seen below).

I believed that if the album was garnering attention that it would also fair better elsewhere on much more popular, user-based websites. The album was then posted on Reddit, and has immediately caught the interest of some fellow redditors hours after posting.

Mark's Plans

Plans?
My plan for the next six months is to make money and plough it back into my being a self-employed carpenter. This means more tools and potentially a vehicle.

So far...
I've got myself some steady work that pays enough to support my living and then some, while gaining the experience I need.

The Next Stage.
To reach this next stage of the plan I need to carry on working.

Alex's Films

I have just recently finished my second film with support from Edventure. The first was a short advert for the Start-up: inspire course. 

What is the Start-Up: Inspire Course?

The course offers an opportunity for jobseekers to develop confidence and raise their self-esteem through practical team projects. It gives young adults an opportunity to explore their personal interests, highlighting the skills and capacities that can put them on a path to employability or developing personal projects.

“I would definitely recommend it to my friends because it's beneficial to people with low confidence and need it building up and also for people who have low skills in certain areas”. - Sean

“The other courses I've done is always usually paperwork and things like that. This course is different because it's more practical and just more fun”. - Stephen

The second was a film of the Frome tattoo convention which happened at the beginning of February.

          

Last Friday, me and Alexis and a couple of other new people who were new to edventure had a meeting at the Cheese and Grain with the events manager. At the meeting we watched and talked about the finished film, as well as discussing future events such as the steampunk and vintage fairs.
