All students must have organised themselves into working groups and should have started generating some ideas by the session on Thursday. If you need any help with this please email me at: lhibbert1@ucreative.ac.uk

Can I please request that you contact either myself or Jim Walker if you are unable to attend any session within this Unit.

Many thanks,
