Week 2

Hi everyone,

Welcome! Well through this space I will document my experiences in applying for and contributing to the organisation of an event (yet to be determined) as a requirement for 'Applied PR' (a course which I am doing this semester at Newcastle University).

It is my task to assist an organisation of some sort in the preparation for and execution of an event from a PR perspective. So far, the emails I've sent out asking to assist different organisations have been unsuccessful (aka ignored). I have received a couple of replies from some community organisations which I now cannot assist because I've already secured another 80 hour placement in that same sector (course requirements!). So tomorrow I intend to call some places and we'll see where we go from there. I'm now looking to contact my local council and some PR firms. Fingers crossed the council will have something going....
