Hello! It’s time for our very first update! Woohoo! In this post, we’ll be sharing how we started our project and over the next couple of posts, we will be looking at the different teams progress! Without further ado, we invite you to read about this week’s update below :)
During our practical session with Saras, we were tasked to brainstorm on ideas that could be effective in raising mental health awareness and to share it with the cohort and Saras. After narrowing down the possible ideas from the 3 teams (Program and financing, Documenters and Product Sponsorship) we were further tasked to develop further on our ideas of a drama production, experiential learning and exhibition booths to present to our partner Clarity Singapore. To our surprise, Clarity was delighted with the amount of effort that we had placed in hence all 3 ideas were accepted! :) Time to get cracking to our respective jobs!
As our documenters had wonderfully crafted the idea of a drama, they were tasked with filling in the storyboard with details. Like chefs throwing ingredients into a wok, the ideas slowly accumulated to form the very first drama idea… ‘Silent Weapon, I will fight’. With our brains juiced dry from ideas, they had then decided the target outreach to be capped at 300 to 1000 pax.
Behind the scenes, our hidden warriors a.k.a logistics team started to consolidate the budget and logistics list that would be needed during the event. With a drama production in progress, they were also in charge of finding suitable venues within our school. Concurrently they worked with the sponsorship team to confirm the number of audiences to ensure that the venue would be able to hold a large number of people.
Next we take a look at the Program and Financing and Product Sponsorship team who had divided the work equally where research on the 5 mental health conditions such as Major Depressive Disorder, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and Eating Disorder went underway. Finally the team that would help us in promoting and publicizing our event… Publicity! With the ideas concretized, the team finally had a clearer idea with their publicizing strategies and started to decided on the respective social media accounts that would be use in promoting our event.
Wow that’s definitely a good start! That’s it for this post! Tune in next time to see the different teams gearing up and upping their games!
