Accentuate

We wanted to share what Hillie has been doing as the Our View Rep working on the Accentuate project Campaign! See below for her report and film.

Hello my name is Hillie

I’m the Our View Student Rep.

I’m 19 years old, and I go to Windsor College.

I like spending time on computers and going to meetings to find out what other people are doing. I like drawing, dancing, and going to college. I enjoy listening and understanding other peoples ideas, and how to talk to people and how they learn.

I was asked by Accentuate to make a film about my CAMPAIGN! project and other projects.

My film is about getting people together to talk about their Campaign project and to be happy. It’s about helping one another.

To make my film I visited other CAMPAIGN! projects to meet new people and find out what their projects was about. Here are some of the places i visited:

- Pebble Brook school

- Channel 4

- Houses of Parliament

- Sign Dance company

- Halow Project

When I first started the Campaign project I wasn’t sure what to do, I was a tiny bit nervous but I felt confident doing it.

What did I enjoyed the most about being an Our View Rep?

- Doing the friendship dance.

- Meeting new people.

- Being the Our View Rep.

- Going to the meetings.

- Learning to make a film.

Every morning at college they ask me for a copy of my DVD, I would like to show it to everyone who would like to watch it.

I would like to teach children how to dance. I would like to show everyone what I can do – I can dance, be part of meetings, make films, and interview people.

This is what my Campaign project was about and feedback from my friends……..

“Our project was about bullying, anger and friendship, about stop bullying and being friends” (Arbour Vale Dancer).

“I was nervous at the start of the performance, but I found it easy dancing with my friends in front of the parents.” (Arbour Vale Dancer).

“I felt a bit nervous talking out loud at the start of the presentation, but it made me stronger to talk. The dance was fun” (Hillie)

“A bit shy at first then it got easy. I made new friends that I could talk too.” (Hillie)

"I enjoyed the project and dancing on stage.” (Hillie)

I enjoy being an Our View Rep, I got to help people who are different; I want to help other people when ever I can. It doesn’t matter if you are disabled or blind, because we are all as one.

I remember when i started school i couldn't talk, so thank you to Everyone who helped me get stronger and confident in is project.
