Session 11 - Looking Back At Distribution And Preparing A Presentation To Take Into Schools - 25/01/12

Everybody was really excited to be back and arranging distribution of the poster now that we had launched our campaign before Christmas.

We began with a recap and a catch up of how everyone was getting on with the poster distribution.

We discussed:
- We are due to do a one off presentation at Acland Burghley School about putting together a successful campaign, which we need to prepare for.
- We will refer back to the blog to look back at our steps along the way of the campaign.
- We will have our distribution plan shared through Google Docs so that we can all update where we will distribute the posters and where we already have distributed posters.

How far have we all got?
- Stop and search meeting in Southwark where a few of the group went and showed their poster off and got some feedback from police, etc.
- A local secondary school want some copies of the poster
- The probation team want some posters to put in all of their offices
- Some members of the group are going to ask if their colleges will put some of the posters up
- Lambeth Y.O.T are happy to put some of the posters up to
- We still have to approach some of the other Y.O.Ts in London

We discussed:
- We need to add 'Potential Audience' heading to our distribution plan
- We will get feedback from forms, a poll, having something to hand out to give them more information and taking them to our website

We got some of the feedback from our poster launch and the comments were overall very positive. Peabody are currently collating the feedback from the feedback forms from the launch so that we can get all of the information together - we will look at this in the next session.

We will send out an email via Mail Chimp to say thank you and to update all of the people who signed up for our mailing list at the launch.

We wrote a list of priorities for over the next week:
1. Create our poll
2. What happens next week when we do our presentation?
3. Create a order form for the website so that people can order our posters

We discussed the questions that we are going to put into our poll:
- How effective is the poster?
- Where did you see the poster?
- What is your age range? (u13, 13-19, 19-25 or 25+)

The face to face feedback will be of a better quality. When we do our presentations in schools we will get some qualitative feedback.

For the school presentations:
- We will need somebody to make notes for us
- The turning point tool which is an interactive way of collecting feedback and will be a lot more fun to collect feedback.

Group activity:



We discussed the structure of the school presentations:
- 1 hour sessions
- Background about everyone and how the poster idea happened
- Steps and professional help
- What's next for the campaign

How are we going to make it interesting?
- Give some statistics through a fun quiz
- Give them a group activity and ask how they would have done it differently? and what their idea would be?

The presentation structure:
1. Story, show poster and what's next
2.Questions and answers
3. Poster feedback
4. Group exercise
5. Feedback
6. Questions and answers

Katy Dawe from Art Against Knives came in to speak to us about a large agency in London who will help us get our poster where it will be seen more and have a larger impact.

We all worked on a one pager that Katy will take to the agency so that we can tell them what we want from them and what our poster is all about.
