Last week I gave out red flags to a lot of people. This just means that your CAS portfolio is not up-to-date. It is important that you spend the time on your CAS portfolio current as there are many things that become harder or impossible to do if you leave them.To get a green flag you need to:
- have added experiences with descriptions
- each experience should have clear goals connected to the outcomes you have chosen
- you have chosen outcomes for each experience (no more than 3)
- you have started at least one experience and added evidence for it
- you have uploaded your personal profile as a pdf in the document section of your CAS portfolio (see last post for details)
If you are not sure what you need to do - look at the note that I have left at the bottom of the your CAS worksheet.
Experiences will not be approved if:
- the description is not detailed enough
- the goals do not make a connection to the all the learning outcomes you have chosen
- you have chosen more than 3 outcomes
To get a gold cup you need to:
- do all the items listed on the green flag
- have started your CAS project
- have provided a link to the CAS stages document for the CAS project
- have evidence for your some of your experiences
- have some reflection
Opportunities
Halloween Helpers
Halloween
is just around the corner and the PTA would love some help with the 3rd
annual Primary Halloween Party at SIS. This event will take place on Friday, October 27th from 3:30-5:30 pm. Last year's event was a tremendous success.
There are plenty of opportunities available to pitch in with games, face
painting, crafts and haunted walk
through. Although this is a rewarding and exciting event, the PTA's top priority is to entertain while keeping safety in mind. They would love some responsible DP students to assist us take care of the guests
aged 4 to 11.
If you wish to help out at this
event you need to attend a meeting on Tuesday, October 10 in
the Main Building on the 4th floor in room 41 at 15.45. You should also email to let them know that you are coming. At
the meeting the PTA will review the basics and you
can place requests for the areas you might be interested in
working with (there are no guarantees). The meeting should take no
longer than 30 minutes. If you have a good reason for not being able to
attend this meeting, but would still like to be part of the event please email
Amanda.
The PTA is looking forward to collaborating with you on another successful community event. Please feel free to contact Amanda if you have additional questions. If you know other students who might be interested in assisting, they can write her directly or attend Wednesday's meeting.
Ask me for Amanda's email address
International Development Experience
Organisation:
- Action10
Action10 is a nonprofit organisation operating in non-OECD countries (www.action10.org). We have programmes in Kenya, Uganda, Togo, Cameroon, Liberia, Nigeria and Colombia. Our vision is a world without extreme poverty. Action10 is managed by volunteer staff only and 97% of the funds we collect are transferred to our Target countries.
We are currently looking for more volunteers to join our Sustainable Economy (SE) work-group. The SE ensures Sustainable economy in all the Action10 programmes. The members of this group support the Programme partners with ensuring that all programmes are designed with a long-term sustainable economy plan in mind, most likely a business model. The group is also in charge of fundraising, for Action10 to be able to offer seed-money and investment capital to our Programme partners. SE develops and assess the Action10 fundraising strategy. Their work includes identifying and keeping a good relation with private, corporate and civil society givers and with grant giving organisations. They ensure safe and easy ways of donating as well as keeping givers content and well informed about what their contributions were used for (stewardship). The group also manages marketing, crowd funding, donor meetings, fundraising events, training on fundraising, and a compilation of givers.
When and where will the volunteering take place:
Our meetings are held in Stockholm
Specific requirements and information:
The volunteer is welcome to attend our monthly events.
Minimum time commitment:
Ten work hours per month
Being a volunteer at the Stockholm Film Festival means that you get to be at the centre of events. If you give us your time and commitment, we will give you the opportunity to watch a lot of movies and get a unique perspective of the film world. 8 - to 19th November
