It's about people! #ya2014nz
It’s crazy to think that almost three years have passed since our Young Ambassador trip back in 2014!
Une année après le début de ce parcours
I actually cannot believe that it has been over a year since my Shared Histories journey began! 2014 was one of the busiest years I’ve had to date- with it being my last year at high school, being involved in running my own business as part of the Young Enterprise Scheme, and, of course, being a Young Ambassador for the Shared Histories project. This time last year I was completely oblivious to how being a Young Ambassador would affect my life, and I had only met two of the other YAs...
Un discours sur le sujet du voyage de YA Tour
Bonjour tout le monde. j'ai eu la chance à faire un discours à mon classe sur le sujet du voyage de Jeunes Ambassadeurs, et voila un vidéo de mon discours pour vous.
If reading through blog posts isn't your thing, then here is a video of my Young Ambassadors Tour speech that I was able to use for my English internal that give a day-to-day account of what we did on the trip back in July.
Un voyage incroyable!
It’s been around 3 weeks since we returned from the Young Ambassadors Tour, and the hectically busy life of school has been a bit of a shock after such an amazing trip.
I updated my Tumblr blog for every day of our trip, and all the entries can be found on the following link: http://ailishjean.tumblr.com/tagged/ya_tour
I can honestly say that the two weeks we spent away were the best weeks of my life- I learnt so much about the war, and I made a new family in the other Young Ambassadors. The...
Un mois plein de beaucoup des choses
J'ai eu un autre mois très occupé, parce que à mon lycée nous avons actuellement les examens, donc il a été difficile pour moi de travail sur Shared Histories. Mais j'ai encore fait beaucoup des petites choses vers mon projet.
The senior students involved in our Shared Histories project at school went down to the Hocken Archives for an afternoon to spend time researching and finding resources for our school project. There were some amazing sources available to look at. For example, I spent...
Les commémorations d'ANZAC
Cette dernière mois il y avais beaucoup d'attention des commemorations pour le jour d'ANZAC. 2014 marks the 99th anniversary of the devastating Gallipoli campaign, and New Zealand’s involvement in the war beginning.
This month I went to an exhibit at the Dunedin Public Art Gallery that showed photographs of ANZAC cenotaphs, taken by Laurence Aberhart.
It was strange to think that in almost every town in New Zealand (and Australia) there is a cenotaph with a collection of names of those...
Un mois très occupé
Bonjour tout le monde! Mars était un mois très occupé pour moi! Ma évaluation de l'histoire était dû cette mois, donc plus de mon temps était dépensé travaillé à fini ça.
In History, our internal was to ‘Research an historical event/place of significance to New Zealanders, using primary and secondary sources’, and my topic was, of course, the First World War. I chose to focus my inquiry on a topic that I could use also for my Young Ambassador personal inquiry, so I researched ‘Soldier’s lives...
Collecter les fonds!
Vendredi, sept mars
My school has been generous enough to hold a gold-coin mufti day to raise funds for my trip to France. I couldn’t be more appreciative that they’ve helped me out in this way, and of course I intend to share back the generosity with the knowledge/information that I gain from my experience as a Young Ambassador.
As well as holding a mufti day, I put on a bake sale. Friends from my French and History classes helped put a bunch of baking together for us to sell to other...
