I spent most of today fondling a slinky in the shape of a fish, though all for the good of Union volunteers.
I attended a Stadia* event called 'Planning a training programme' which is going to be dead useful for all the 'RU Ready...' stuff that's going on. I'm looking forward to coming back and getting out some flipchart paper and chatting to the programme stakeholders (edited from Stockholders... I was tired when I posted) about making Training Need Analysis forms and the like.
While there I chatted informally about M.AS.I.V. - and again people were amazed at the scheme. Reading's certainly leading the accreditation sector with this project - all the other Union's want to nick it for their students! Even the NUS guy said he'd pop down to chat about it - cool as chips.
I was supposed to be networking with a Sabb from Kington Union but he cancelled so I had a very nice drink with my friend Emma, who also happens to be VP Education at Kings College London - the world of NUS is actually far too incestuous!
*Stadia are a group that do lots of support for student activities.

"programme stockholders"?
That's like when the Government refers to patients as "stakeholders".
Hmm... should have been stakeholders in post... The terminology is a bit weird (considers having a discussion how commercialisiation has made monetary images central to all service provision) but describes the way that lots of different groups benefit from training and so they need to be bought into the discussions about it - they need to be able to 'stake an interest' if you like.
