Working at Waterways!

Hi,

My name is Jeni Louise and I am now a part time member of staff for The Waterways Trust, at the Waterways Museum in Ellesmere Port! Working alongside and assisting the ridiculously hardworking Emma in the office, around the museum a

several projects all creating and promoting youth activity and engagement in the Arts and Heritage Sector.

The reason that I have the opportunity to work here is due to emma and the Waterways Action Squad department helping to put me through the application for the Vodaphone World of Difference Award 2011/12! This award funds you to work for a charity, the application process was long and a lot of work had to come from my part and especially from Emma, but eventually we got the great news that we had won the award.

So on the 27th February 2012 I travelled down to the exotic Newbury Race Course to have an induction day and learn more about the funding scheme as a whole, how to blog and also got to listen to some inspirational speakers about how they have begun to make a world of difference. Vodaphone generously supplied everyone who won with a work phone and starter pack.

With my first project over – which was a health and wellbeing themed afternoon of music and dramatic performance, it’s on with the next projects…

The Media Suite Mural – an Art project that engages local under buy cialis online 25′s to design and create a mural for the exciting new media suite. The group will spend some time in and around the museum, looking for stimulus and taking inspiration from the setting and environment. The mural is set to be a modern/ contemporary interpretation of what the museum and media suite have to offer and will be a lasting legacy in the museum.
