Entrepreneurs Café – hosted by the YB

All of the entrepreneurs attending the TF will be dropping into the coffee shop all day. They want to speak to YOU!

Drop in and say hi, ask them questions and have a chat.

If you don’t know who they are – ask them! Whoever you end up talking to will have an inspirational story to tell.

NFTE Youth Board meeting, in partnership with Horse's Mouth - Monday 27th February

Well I hope you’re all geared up for Mondays YB meeting at the Horse’s Mouth?!?!?!

Invitations have been sent and the agenda has been finalised. All that’s left to do now is get the party started.

Monday’s meeting will be a little different from the launch in November. It will be an opportunity for the YB members to talk about their role at the NFTE TF on March 17th. It will also be an opportunity to discuss how the YB members can manage the Blog.

Monday will be dedicated to the Horse’s Mouth project. In case you don’t know the Horse’s mouth is, here a little taste

Horse’s mouth is an exciting new charity website launching this year. Horse’s Mouth is a website where you can share and pass on the things you're going through, and the things you've been through, with REAL people. We all have amazing value in our life experiences. If only we could pass them on to the people who need them most... By registering on Horse's Mouth, you can offer to share what you've learnt from life so far, on any subject. From education, to health, careers or families, they want to know what you've been through - and what you've learned.

All the pictures and gossip will be on the blog by the end of the day…if I’m not too tied from all the excitement!

Thanks again to Horse’s Mouth for hosting the event, we are all very excited

Connexions - Unleash Your Potential

Two weeks ago I went to the Connexions career’s fair in Woolwich. I had a brilliant time. I met lots of students, teachers and careers advisors.

The Connexions team invited Coree Richards, ex Damage member, who performed his new single and gave an inspirational talk.

In the evening there was a talent show. I was asked to be a judge. It was a difficult task but I think the right person won(pictures below)

I was overwhelmed by the talent, commitment and dedication shown by the performers.

Congratulations to Alice Ogebule, Marlena Topple,Lorraine Emmanuel, Zena Webber, Gemma Baidoo and Hamish Gallish for organising such a brilliant energetic event.
