If you’re aged between 5-18, or work with young people who are, we
need you …!
• Are you an aspiring webmaster?
• Are you into art and graphic design?
• Do you love writing?
• Is film-making or photography your passion?
• Are you interested in business, marketing and managing a budget?
We are recruiting children and young people from around Scotland to
become part of a team; to work together to manage and develop a
website.
www.BeXcellent.org.uk <http://www.bexcellent.org.uk/>
is the only website available for children and young people to
inform and share ideas on Curriculum for Excellence.
The BeXcellent team will:
• Develop and refresh the website
• Provide interesting, fun and relevant content
• Produce a website designed and written by children and young
people for children and young people
A smaller group of the team will become the project leaders and will
be expected to make decisions to help steer the work.
There will be plenty of support available from staff at Children in
Scotland and opportunities to learn from experts working in the
different areas.
This is an exciting opportunity to develop and showcase your talents
and skills. We understand that some of you may want to start with a
small contribution and build up your confidence and learn.
However, you might feel ready to make a bigger commitment. Being part
of the team is voluntary and will involve some of your time.
The work will be complete by Spring 2014 and some of the team will
launch the refreshed website at a big event in Edinburgh. There will
be awards for special contributions made by team members and all team
members will receive a certificate that can be used in personal
profiles, for UCAS applications or future job applications.
We look forward to hearing from you.
