The Digital Mentor bid, led by UK online centres is starting to move along quite nicely now. On Thursday, they are hosting a workshop / meeting for all the organisations that put themselves forward for a lead role on the work packages. We originally intended to put ourselves forward too, knowing full well that there are some pretty big and vastly more experienced orgs than ourselves who will probably get the work. However, I thought this would be ideal experience for us and I believe we have plenty to offer in terms of defining how the digital mentor role should be shaping up. After much pondering and discussion we’ve decided not to attend the meeting, pretty much down to travel costs! While it would be great to attend the meeting, be involved with the structure of the roles, network with contemporaries etc., a trip down to London would not really suit our financial standings at this particular time. While there is some really exciting stuff going on that we’re chomping at the bit to get involved in, we have to remember that the ‘We Share Stuff’ project has only been operating, in reality, less than six months. The ‘to do’ list is looking quite meaty and for the project to succeed, we need to focus on our priorities.
