Visit to Nelson Town Hall - 24/11/2010

A small group of Inspiring Communities young people joined a group of Connecting Communities Young People on a trip behind the scenes of Nelson Town Hall.
They took a look inside the Council Chamber.
They also listened to talks from Paul Hussey - Chief Executive's Policy Unit Manager, and Sara Mumby - Brierfield Neighbourhood Manager, Connecting Communities.
Claire, Jen, and Warren from Inspiring Communities also introduced the I.C. programme to the group.
The group listened to Role Models Carley and Rachel. Some of the feedback left:

"Cally inspired me to just enjoy your work", Ashley, Young Person.
"Rachel was very inspiring and interesting. I understand that she was a bit bad in her past, but has got her head together" - Chantelle, Young Person.

Prezi pics

The pupils at Colne Primet and Pendle Vale have created a series of pictures to be used in their prezi's ( you can see all these in the next few blogs and the groups will be able to access their images from this blog page). A prezi is created in a computer programme and allows you to put on lots of information and keep adding to it. Over the next few weeks the groups will be going on to tidy up their images a bit and add them to their very own prezi's the theme of which is Road Maps to Success.
