Video Diaries for Skills for Health

Childwall Sports College was contacted by Tracey Nicholson from Skills for Health to ask if our learners would undertake a video diary of their experiences. A select number of schools had been asked across the country. The idea was to host the experiences of the learners on their site, as a promotion to sell the Diploma to learners.

We worked with Elliot Levi from the production company; he came in and explained the whole procedure. Tracey offered an incentive of vouchers; Egzona Grajqevci and Alisha Williamson had sufficient evidence to go forward. The girls had a period of 12 weeks to record their diaries. They were asked to record their experiences in and out of school. They completed them in June 2009. The finished version is now available to go live on their site at:

“As a reward both 6th form girls were given £50 vouchers for completing their project. My congratulations go to both Egzona and Alisha for their excellent video diaries.”
