My first campaign or SMILE WITH YOUR VOICE

After joining Vikki for one week at Marlborough and Claire at Trinity I got my own campaign to run over two weeks in Oxford. John did the training at the first two days and then I managed the rest of the two weeks. I was a little bit nervous at the beginning but I think that´s normal. I decided not to think about all the possible barriers but to use my common sense and my experiences. It worked well: The results of the campaign are fantastic, the students liked me (Although they were sometimes a little bit surprised at my procedure and games – e.g. we all collected frameworks and rules and at the end I invited them to sign these on the poster, another time I showed them a stick under which everybody should put a finger to hold it in the high of my nose. The aim was to bring this pole in 5 minutes down to the floor without losing contact. They looked at me and smiled but it took them two trials to hit the target.) and I feel good in the things that I do – That’s the way life should be.

I am now in the office since one week and will stay here for 3 more.
