Hi everyone!
Here’s another weekly update from the ICS Interns, Nancy and Caitlin. It’s been a busy week, with lots of researching, planning and organising the first stages of the ICS festival. Our main focus this week has been gathering our best ideas for the festival like what events we could put on, creating a brand and how we can make a name for ourselves. All of these initial thoughts will be presented to the LLAS staff and interns on Monday morning, so we’re spending this afternoon getting the last bits ready!
Luckily, on Thursday we had a welcome break from work, when we met with all of the LLAS team and the other former and current students that are also interning in our department. It was great to finally get the whole group together and share information about each other’s projects. We’re really looking forward to hearing about their projects’ progress, and on Monday everyone will be joining us for our presentation to see how far we’ve got. Earlier this week we also met Maddy, last year’s ICS intern, who is now working as the Welcome Programme Assistant with the International Office. We discussed links that we could establish between ICS and the International Office, and we hope to involve the pre-sessional students that Maddy works with in our preparation for the festival.
Stay tuned for our next update on Friday 17th!
All the LLAS interns and staff
