Empowerment

Well as we have all started our placements we were informed it was time to start blogging again!
The sigh filled the classroom, but as all my housemates have gone out without me I feel it is the perfect opportunity to blog away.

Forgetting, as usual, what I was suppose to blog about, I decided to ask someone. EMPOWERMENT they told me, so hmm, empowerment on my placement, interesting!

As my placement consists of lots of different sessions run by a lot of different people at different locations, i guess i will pick one area to look at otherwise things could start to get complicated!

Hmm...

Empowerment...

Right, well. I have only met with them once, but i guess we are empowering them, how about this... We go into school on a Friday lunch time to work with some year 8 girls. The time we spend with them is their time, to which they can do what they want and we are there to help, encourage or just be. What ever they want us to do. Its their time to use us in the way they want and give us suggestions of what they want to do, so we can put things into place and make it possible for them.

Empowerment anyone?!?
