Group Meeting New Project 5.11.2008

In the morning we met up before our lecture and went to the YMCA and the police station to find if they knew anyone that we could use. The YMCA said that they couldnt help us at all, but the police gave us some names of institues and their phone numbers. We then went back to one of our groups houses and tried calling the numbers we had been given and searched the internet for other simmilar institutes that could help us find someone.

After a while we decided that we should think of a whole new project we came up with four ideas of who to do it on which were:
- A Community Support Officer
why: We thought of this as everyone sees them around town all the time but not many people know exactly what they do. You also hear alot of people saying they dont do much so to show their side of the story
- A Big Issue handout
why:Tell the story of people that are unheard, everyone knows who you mean when you talk about people selling the big issue but no one knows why they do it or what life style they have, and this is to show this.
- A Community Centre
why:To find some one that is helping the community in someway. This was to find someone that is helping the community and we would look for someone with an interesting background.
- A Prostitute Help Centre
why: Whilst browsing for drug rehabilitation programs we came across a prostitute help centre and thought of doing it on the founder of this organisation for a variety of reasons and we made a short outile:

what: Why the organisation was started and what it means to them?
where: at the POW institute in nottingham
Why: Around where we live in nottingham there are alot of prostitutes about at night and so we see them all the time. We also found it interesting as it is not trying to stop them do it it is mainly aiming on making it safer although they do also teach skills.
Target Audience: People that know prostitutes, for POW as a Promotion for their organisation and for school as educational purposes.

Half way through this we got a call, saying that we could do a the documentrary on a graffiti artist that is part of the "Oxygen Theivz" graffiti crew.
