MY ROLES

The definition of a participant liaison is 

• Communicating and cooperating which facilitates a close working relationship between people or organizations:

My role as a participant liaison included creating posters and flyers to hand out in Croydon and the general recruitment of Croydonians. 

Although I wasn't in for creating the posters/leaflets I was happy with the result of my peers.  

The leaflet is simple and clear with the most important info in another colour or bold for it to stand out. 

We began with going out as a group in Croydon the separating off into smaller groups to hand out flyers and put up posters. 

In the beginning I was extremely nervous as I hate talking to strangers and now I had to give them a flyer and convince them to come and take part in  workshops. 

It didn't help that people that flyer get rejected 8 times out of 10- but I believe it went okay as we did get rid of all our leaflets and had some interesting conversations. 

We asked the first person we handed the leaflet too, if she had ever been interested in acting. She was middle aged and I didn't think she would be but actually was, and she said it had always been a dream of hers to act but she didn't have the time to peruse it, so we gave her a leaflet. 

I've developed my skills in talking to people as I never would have been able too but now I can a little bit more. However I think I still need to work on my approaching skills as I highly relied on Ruby to make the first move.

Back at school I messaged 5-7 Croydon based pages including Age Croydon, Croydon Church Club and Croydon Choir- advertising the play and inviting them along. 

This was what I said.

However, after that I still think I could have tried to hand out more leaflets as we hadn't had many responses in the first few weeks and I think if I was to do this again I would push myself into getting more involved and work on my persuasion skills.
