LEVEL UP Project - Willing to explore classroom project options as well.

DESCRIPTION: 2 students required, for 160 hours, to complete 40 speaker Introductions

Background: As an organization that bridges the gap between the western world and Indigneous speakers, it is imperative that we create deliverables for each of our speakers that matches western world expectations. One of these deliverables is a written speaker introduction that is ready prior to a speaker presenting.

Project: In this project, the student will be expected to work with stored and researched material and resources on our Indigenous Speakers, as well as perhaps conduct interviews with speakers to garner marketable information for their introductions. The student is expected to complete a minimum of 20 (per student) seperate Speaker Introductions for various speakers.

Goals: The student will be working on creating a valid and complimentary written introduction that will provide credibility and confidence about the speaker, for a potential audience. As the student will be working with a demographic of people known primarily for their humility, the student will need to be diligent in acquiring the information that can best illustrate the speakers many gifts and assets.
