WORK EXPERIENCE AT CREATIVE STIRLING

In my school they do a work experience week for people in S4. The idea is for us to try and find a job and work there for a week to get an understanding of what it's like to work when we are adults. For my work experience I chose to work at creative stirling which I discovered through the WorkIt website. The experience was absolutely amazing and I loved every day that I came into work. The team were some of the nicest people I have ever met and made me feel super welcome from my first day coming in. 

While working at Creative Stirling I helped with developing stuff for upcoming projects and designing things like flyers and instagram posts. I have been supporting the development of their “Creative Youth Assembly”, which is a monthly group that allows young people to gain new creative opportunities, learn new skills and meet experts from various industries. This really helped me because I am running as a candidate to become an MSYP for Stirling and it taught me loads of useful skills for my campaign.

I loved so many things about Creative Stirling and they had a super interesting film exhibition that I was able to have a look at. It tells the story of two filmmakers from Stirling and it is something I would really recommend to take a look at. 

Soon you will be able to see some of my work at www.creativestirling.org/cya (launching soon).

Overall my time at creative stirling was brilliant and I would recommend it to anyone looking to do work experience and I would definitely come here again to work.
