Talent Wall

Talent Wall

 

ANOTHER BRICK IN THE WALL 

Young People are needed to put a brick in the wall! The idea is simple. Young people create a Talent Brick by uploading their picture and completing two straightforward sentences:

  • 'My Talent is...', and
  • 'My future ambition is....'

Talent Week is an initiative developed by the Talent and Enterprise Taskforce with help from DCSF, Edge, Business in the Community (BITC) and the British Council of Shopping Centres (BCSC).

The Talent Wall will be featured on the website  http://www.talentweek.co.uk  and will form Talent Walls that will be featured in 20 shopping centres around the country in July and more than 100 next Spring. These Talent Walls will then form the backdrop for Talent Week, a week long programme of schools and community events in shopping centres. Also young people will have the chance to pursue their talents online with our partners. Recognising that Adventist youth are bursting with talent we urgently need your help to get this wall started.
