ANGLE

This will be the Angle of the event. All the Leaders are happy with it and once speaking about it with the class, they agree with the way the event will go.

Angle for BTEC Students

Fun and Educational

The reason we are holding the event for the students is to give them an insight to ‘higher education’ from their course they are studying now. This is an opportunity for students to see what their future could be and for them to decide if it is for them. As the fees have risen it is important to show the students the importance of university and to hopefully encourage them to come even though it will be harder financially.

The Angle we will be putting on the actual day will be to have a slightly ‘ Apprentice theme’.
We will have 3 main activities and with this we will set them a task in which they work against the clock to create a media piece.
This brings fun and competition to the day but also shows them the reason they would actually come to university, which is to get a job in the media with stick deadlines, but creativity and team work.

As this day is showing them their possible future there will be talks from people from the industry, talks from people on the university course and possibly a talk from MP Don Foster to discuss fees rising, in which the students can ask questions about their future.



Angle for the Media Attention

Fees Rising

The angle we will take to attract media attention to our event will be by promoting our event as ‘ encouraging students to go on to higher education despite the rising fees’.
As their are job cuts at the moment we can be seen as educating the students that getting a degree is useful for their future.

After the students have done their activities there will be talks with various ‘celebrities’ / ‘names’ in the media to attract media attention and coverage, as well as a possibility of politicians talking about a matter that is in the public eye at them moment.

As this is a relevant topic it is more likely to be covered, and the fact that celebrities can be involved brings the media along as they can put a face to the event.
