Commitment and Perseverance

Show commitment to and perseverance in CAS experiences

Learning outcome 4 is about showing that you can start, continue, and follow through on an experience.  This is often suitable for physical activities, sport, exercise, going to the gym.
You need to have evidence to show that you have been regularly involved and active in the experience that you have chosen for this learning outcome. 

Evidence can be:
  • attendance statistics from gyms
  • class receipts
  • minutes from meetings
  • apps that record using GPS
  • photos
  • logs, etc.  
Anything that shows your regular participation.  If you have chosen this learning outcome, make sure that you keep good records for that experience.


Opportunities - for runners and volunteers

For all you runners out there, now is the time to sign up for the various runs in Stockholm.  This is peak season.  It is a good way to give yourself that extra push with your running and a great way to demonstrate your commitment and perseverance.  Many of the runs are also looking for volunteers to help.  Great way to do some service.

Here are just a few of them - see me if you need help to sign up.  Why not get a group of you together?

Park Run
When: Every Saturday at 9.30am
Where: Haga Park 
Distance: 5 km
You can register  at http://www.parkrun.se/haga/.  You only need to register once - then you can turn up every weekend if you like.
Volunteers needed - if you don't want to run but want to get outside and help you can volunteer by at hagahelpers@parkrun.com

A new idea for fund raising - sugar free!

I read about a class that decide that selling cookies in lots of packaging was bad for the environment.  Instead they decided to sell climate-compensation.  They asked people to buy trees for an organisation that has a foresting project in Panama.  They sold the 'trees' for 100 kr.  Sixty crowns went to buy the trees and 40kr to their collection.  The also sold solar cells in the same manner.  They managed to raise 8000kr for themselves as well as make a positive difference for the climate.  This shows that you do not need to give people something to make money.  Many people were happy to support the project just knowing that a tree would be planted somewhere. Each person who donated received a certificate.  You can read more about this in Swedish in Svenska Dagbladet


Svensk Afghanistankommittén
They are looking for helpers for their flea markets (loppis) at Hornstull on June 9th and Midsommarkransen on the 3rd June.
