there was a good structure in place
for the program which helped the
students work.
Matt Armstrong from 14/19 said
that he felt the students were really
engaged and worked hard, which
helped them get a lot done. He said
the calibre of guest speakers likely
helped with that.
“We did have some fabulous
professionals,” Stewart said.
The program welcomed local
master gardener Rhea Hamilton
Seeger; naturopathic doctor Angela
Hanlon; musician, Goderich Livery
Theatre general manager and
Goderich Celtic Roots Festival and
College Artistic Director Kate
Johnston; musician Thomas Beard;
local artist and teacher Greg
Sherwood; former Benmiller Inn
head Chef Spencer Vail; stilt walker
Laura Astwood of the Ottawa Stilt
Union; Rob Bundy of the Edge of
Walton Challenge Course and Chris
Lee of the Walton Raceway.
Stewart explained that 14/19 staff
would meet with students to follow
up this week but said that the
feedback she has received has been
positive so far, saying that students
commented the different style of
learning really reached them.
“We are seeing a lot of potential
for future options for courses and
conferences,” Stewart said. “The
visual art show that was pitched
shows promise and the fashion arts
proposal could help grow the
existing fashion arts program.”
Some of the ideas that came
forward might be merged into parts
of other conferences, according to
Stewart, as a means of drawing more
high school students to the CCRC’s
programs.
Stewart was also surprised by
several of the suggestions presented
by the students.
The first surprise was that skills
that students wanted to learn were
the kind that used to be taught in
programs like home economics.
“They identified these skills as
being missing in school,” she said,
talking about fashion design and
culinary arts. “Those life skills just
aren’t being addressed.”
The entrepreneurship group also
provided a surprise that Stewart – a
plan for conferences for the next
year that was purely profit-driven.
“There was one student who was
all about making money,” she said.
“He was just all about the bottom
line.”
The group, based on that student’s
suggestion, had proposed tiered-
pricing for conferences at the centre.
“It’s a really interesting idea
instead of a one-price-fits-all
system,” she said. “People attending
the conference would pay a flat fee
to get in and then pay for each
additional course or speaker they
were interested in.”
An example was having
conference-goers talk to investors in
a Dragons’ Den-style bidding
session, which the attendees have to
pay to get at. The “Dragons”, or
venture capitalists, would not be
paid to be there though.
“I thought that wouldn’t fly,”
Stewart said. “However Chris Lee
offered his knowledge and said
that’s how things work. It was
completely different than I thought
it was going to be.”
Armstrong said the program was a
good window to see what students
were aware of in the county.
“It really helped us see how we
can make students our target
audience and reach them and it
helped them to know about us,” he
said.
Stewart said that the students at
the event left her with a feeling of
hope for the community.
“They were great kids,” she said.
“They were socially responsible,
bright and showed respect.”
Students brainstorm great ideas for CCRC
Working as a team
While the Innovation, Creativity and Entrepreneurship (ICE)
program held at the Canadian Centre for Rural Creativity
(CCRC) last Wednesday was about connecting students
with local professionals who can help them realize their
ambitions, it all started out with the basics like teamwork.
