On Thursday 11th February Destinations helped host The Community Animation event in Saltburn. The event was simul-casted and simul-blogged accros the UK ond even areas of Europe since we have made a number of connections with European learning venues recently. The day was a tremendous successes with a full house for the matinee (in which we hooked up with children and police in Latvia) and around 80 people for the evening event. We even made it onto Latvian National TV !
You can relive the event on the blog at www.saltburn.org.uk . As well as the hook-up with Latvia,the event was followed by people in Greece,Lithuania,Poland,Turkey,Sweden,Finland and the UK.
The event saw the world premier of “The Force is With You” made with the local Police,residents of East Cleveland,Whitecliffe Primary School in Carlin How,Destinations and Teesside University. You can enjoy the new film here. Its a bit of fun but has a serious social point to make and uses ICT to reflect some of the feelings and concerns of our local communities.
We were delighted that the Mayor of Redcar &Cleveland and also The Mayor of Loftus came along as well as representatives from the Coucil,the police,Business Link and even some European guests from Finland,who of course we introduced to MyGuide.
