Week 1, Session 2

17/7
Life hack workshop

The Lifehack team came in today and ran a workshop during studio time. We did an exercise where we named a variety of different situations where mental health could be an issue. We split the situation into three sections; audience, the reason/what is happening, and the mental health threat.

This was interesting as we were finally starting to identify potential topics for our projects. It was also really interesting to see how differently people had approached the exercise; there was a huge spectrum in terms of seriousness, everything from being body-concious to suicide.

I felt that this really helped me in terms of realising where I would like to take this project. At this point I felt that the topics that really interested me were the ones that didn't even occur to me earlier.

The topics that got me particularly interested were the ones focussing on 'transition'.
