ARE YOU IN NEED OF A CONFIDENCE BOOST AND GAIN MORE SKILLS AT THE SAME TIME?

UDEVELOPS LISTEN UP PROGRAMME TICKS ALL OF THOSE BOXES AND MORE!!

KIRSTIE HAS COMPLETED HER NEW LEAF JOURNEY NOW AND IS DOING HER ENGLISH QUALIFICATION

We took part in a 5 week UDevelop course called Listen up. During the course we created vision boards that included what we would like to achieve in the next few months, our interests, favourites and future goals. We cut out pictures that represented the words and things that we wanted to include in our future. Then we created scripts for our own personal podcasts that we practised and recorded on a microphone. This process made me feel confident and less anxious and provided me with new skills. We also recorded the New Leaf promo which provides information first hand from learners promoting the programme.

The next week we designed our own cd covers that would have all our audio uploaded on to. We put some of our closest of family and interests to make the cover our own. Some people even put their pets and personal interests down. “I enjoyed creating the cd cover because its personal to me”

During the next week we mind mapped ideas to create a podcast that would help people when they are feeling down or low. The group worked well together producing ideas and then the final script. We then decided within the group who was going to say what part and when. The finished piece is a credit to the team and we have already used it to help people.
