Colleges Week 2009, part of the Association of Colleges. The week long event takes place from the 9 – 15th November and is designed to celebrate the opportunities colleges create for individuals, businesses and Britain.
As part of the Colleges Week celebration, a nationwide competition is being launched called ‘I’m running the show’. The competition is calling on students to submit a video, up to 2 minutes, of what they would do if they were ‘running the show’ for a day. Students are invited to answer the question in any way and as creatively as they’d like, from a simple speech or presentation to a song and dance routine; from an animation to a practical demonstration of the skills you are learning. Winning students will get the chance to talk tactics with Sven-Göran Eriksson, go behind the scenes of the British Space Industry or learn how a national magazine is put together.
Students can submit their video up until 31st October via the Colleges Week website.
