The brief Brief

Team ignite aims to get students involved in continuous communication with OPC. We will attempt to do this by gathering email addresses from some of the current participants. We will create forms for this purpose. We will then set up a Bebo and a Facebook network that will be able to connect alumni and possible future participants of OPC. The social network groups will link to a blog that will most likely have a photo based competition for anyone aged 13-18 to enter. This competition will relate in some manner to the sort of things OPC is known for (for example outdoor activities). This way the people can look through the photographs and get excited about the outdoors and possibly and hopefully want to get involved with OPC. 

There will be posters created for schools also advertising this competition so it wont be limited to people who have already been involved with OPC. The prize for the winner of the competition will be an adventure with OPC (Ipods and cameras may also be prizes for runners up).

The social networks will be constantly updated with news by the people from OPC and the wall will allow people to make comments about what is happening and / or coming up in the future for OPC. We intend to make a guide that can be followed for the sustainability of the communication platforms we have created that can be used by the staff.
