Discuss Program Theme and style

The topic that we discussed about doing was on the life of a new student. Basically we are going to follow the life of a new student in Edinburgh and follow them through various scenarios starting with leaving home and finishing with Graduation.

Discuss individual Package ideas

1. Moving Away From Home – We would have an interview with a new student about how they’re feeling before moving away for the first time and also the parents on how they are feeling with their child moving away from home. Also we will contact someone that is involved with student accommodation on how they help new students fit in well and what facilities are available to them.
2. College life - This package would be about the way the college welcomes new students and what the college has to offer them. For interviews we would have the principal along with the Student union and also the tutor of the student under focus on what the course they are studying is all about.
3. What Edinburgh has to offer to students – This part is all about why Edinburgh is perfect for students. We would have a voxpop at a student night asking people what they love about student nights also an interview with the promoters of a student night on what are the attractions of hosting a student night.
4. Student Debt and stress – We couldn’t do a package on new students without talking about the problems with student debt. This would give the students advice on how to cope with student debt as we would have interviews with a student currently in debt and also with the student support. We have also talked about getting in contact with a major charity who deals with people in debt.
5. Graduation – Finally we would end it all off with the graduation speaking to a student about to experience their first graduation along with the principal on what the college does to host this big occasion. Also we would speak to a career advisor about what advice they would give to a student looking to start their new career.

Decide roles

We hadn’t yet decided who was doing what, as the whole group wasn’t present and we wanted to make sure everyone had an input with the whole show.

Action Points

What are next meeting will be about is who will be doing what and deciding who we will have to interview.
