This year we want to showcase everything includem - from our services teams to operations, board and Youth Inspired Group.
To do this, we have created a fun activity that we’re calling “Everything includem” and we need YOU and YOUR TEAM to help!
Each team, function or group have been assigned a “stall”.
There are a number of ways you can dress your teams stall - and it’s up to the team to decide which way will work best for you:
Create your own posters Create your own powerpoint
Create your own video (with comms support) A mix of all three elements! A mix of all three elements!

THINGS TO BE AWARE OF
All the stalls will be unmanned!
Think about what you can showcase about your team in 5mins
Your stall must include a specific reference - we’ll be in touch with managers about this!
Once you’ve decided on the way you want to showcase your teammanagers must let comms know asap!
