Multimedia Advocacy Graduation
The Rix Centre’s multimedia advocacy student graduation ceremony took place on the 19th December. It was attended by people with learning disabilities and their supporters who have completed our Multimedia Advocacy Training Courses at the University.
Our students have used multimedia advocacy for all sorts of different purposes:
Paul Baker, for example, who is 32, is looking for office work and has been working with his supporter Jo to develop a multimedia CV. Paul currently works in a pub in Stratford, by developing his CV using multimedia he is able to capture and present his talents and experience in a dynamic format that he understands and is comfortable about sharing with others.
Heidi Cooper and her mother Susan have attended 3 short courses in succession to build multimedia advocacy skills. Her multimedia advocacy portfolio features life story work and represents some of her talents with a display of some of her paintings and drawings. Susan, her mother, has trained alongside her, and is an Art Student at Masters level with the University.
