Website Promotion

We are preparing to promote the website extensively but to get us started in the mean time I have followed up a couple of leads I had.

I contacted a friend of mine in Liverpool who teaches students that are in a similar area to our own and many of whom are from artistic backgrounds.

I also contacted my old Secondary School about encouraging some of their art students possibly taking part. I also enquired about the possibilty of talking to the art teacher there and maybe some of the classes to promote participation directly.

This is a strategy we are hoping to adopt across a number of schools as we see it as a good way to get a firm commitment on participation. This can only enhance the project.

We decided a more direct approach was needed in  conjunction with our other efforts just in case they are not as fruitful as we hope. As we have all learned from previous experience drumming up participation online even amongst friends can be difficult.
