Today we had a meeting with the Erasmus coordinator of the Malta trip, Michael Harley. This meeting was needed because we all felt that we weren't sure what exactly was happening with this opportunity.
Michael filled us in with every detail possible of the trip even down to what we are looking at spending each month on the island. LJMU work with a company called Paragon and they will be the hosts for the trip when we are over there. They find our work placements and also provide the accomodation. Michael said that the applications are straight forward and easy so I am going to start mine next week after the work deadlines I have on Friday. We have to write a personal statement to go along with our CV to send to Paragon. In this statement we must specify what we would like to do in terms of work. Michael also said that Paragon are very happy to find work placements for any subject you would like to do. This aspect really excited me because I might now have the choice to do a placement with an animation company over there but we will have to see how the application goes.
This meeting cleared up a lot of questions that we all had and I feel a lot more confident and am very excited to start my application process! The information has also reassured my parents about the placement because they wanted to know more as well.
I cant explain how excited I am to work abroad doing media, its really a dream come true! I will keep you updated on this when I know more :)
Speak Soon!

Convergence Media Teamwork - Development
Today we just worked on the campaign in general, trying to flesh out the components that we want to have by the end of the assignment. I worked on a presentation that we have to make next week just so the lecturers can see where we are up to. Here is that presentation:
Becuase of deadlines this week this is all the work I managed to do in this morning session; and unfortunately I had a meeting this afternoon which clashed with the afternoon session but it was about work placement in Malta so I had to attend.

MALTA!!!!
I'm not sure if I have mentioned this amazing opportunity that I have been looking in to. But basically there is a 3 months work placement I could do on the beautiful island of Malta. I can go over there and do a placement anywhere related to the media industry, all I have to do is apply!
Well today we had a meeting with Keith who is involved in the Erasmus scheme in LJMU who organise these placements. He gave as much information as he could about the trip before the meeting we have tomorrow with Michael Harley who is the main Erasmus coordinator.
If I get this opportunity it will count toward the 80 hours work experience that I have to log for third year which is great. Plus when else would I be offered such a placement? Of course I have jumped at the chance because going to Malta would be a wonderful cultural experience that I can share with a few friends who want to go off the course as well!
