	Hi All, especially those new to this blog that I've met over the last few days at the ACT conference or Almeida. The campaign is progressing well, Kyla and I are working hard to launch Take Your Paper Home and make it a real success. We are currently writing the content for the website and also sorting the competition rules. Its actually getting quite scary as we move into the serious legal side of running a competition. In the meantime, we are also organising the grand press release so TYPH launches with the biggest impact on the commuting population as possible. Ideas are continually flowing around and it is now deciding which are going to be the best, most time efficient and cheap whilst in the absence of any sponsorship for the event. This week has also seen me giving two speeches, one today (Tuesday 9th) and one tomorrow about my campaign and related issues. Today I spoke about how young people are using the Internet and Technology in its broader context to campaign for change, drawing on my experiences to help deliver the speech. I feel it went down well, and I received positive feedback so I am happy with how it went. I also help teach a workshop on the same issue, all of this at the national conference for the Association of Citizen Teachers (ACT). I found the conference actually helpful, I learnt a lot and it only furthered my respect and sympathy for teachers because their job is so SO important but given such little support or credit. Tomorrow I speak at a Climate Change Theatre Production in Islington which is a drama and issue day where students will participate in workshops that combine climate change education with drama and theatre. I have to talk for 15 mins so I am a bit nervous that I will be able to entertain, inspire and interest an audience for so long. Here's Hoping. Smiles James x
