Today we made a great leap forward in that we have confirmed a day and time to meet with 3 young people, after a few falst starts last week, on the 21st March. This meeting came through our contact at the Ridgeway Hall in Langport, Annie. The meeting has been a bit of a challenge to organise because I only work 2 days a week, Melita has other projects to work on as well, Annie is a volunteer Youth Worker with other commitments, and the young people themselves have other commitments.
Getting a solid date for a meeting meant that we could start thinking about how we were going to perform the meeting - we've decided that an informal chat, establishing who everyone is and why we've come to the meeting. This fits in with our 'completely transparent and honest about the project' policy, so I'm not expecting anyone's response to be 'because I love old buildings'!
This short meeting also means that Melita and I can fit in a trip to a local Go&See - the main contender at the moment being Yeovil Foyer Federation. The Foyer Federation is a national company that supports young people at risk, and the Yeovil branch is based in a restored historic building, so it sounds like we could have a good visit!
In between getting that organised, I got carried away researching infographics, as a possible way of getting the young people to engage with the heritage of the building and Langport, and provide some interesting and accessible heritage interpretation displays at the church and on the website. (Other CCT churches have information boards and leaflets which have lovely branding and design but aren't too enticing to stand and read). I started looking at coolinfographics.com, and got recommended good.is/infographics (which has some supercool examples of interactive infographics, which I'd like to at least try and include on our website), but then completely by chance found this example - which shows a heritage touring map of the South West! Topical.
