I knew before I started the course what the first project would be. Students showed me at the open house the magazines they’ve made and why. This project was also the reason I decided that I wanted to do the course. I appreciated that the school valued creativity and wasn’t all by the book. 

This project was a little bit of a challenge to me. I volunteered to be the team leader this time to give myself a chance to learn something new. It was a struggle because I just didn’t really know what exactly the teachers were expecting as a final result. This made leading also quite difficult because I had no clue what I was supposed to be guiding my team towards. Thankfully the group helped me out as we went and I realised that I am not doing the project alone and we all still have a lot to learn. 

For the third project we had to design a stand for the Maastricht Convention Bureau. This stand would represent them at the IMEX 2026 in Frankfurt. This time I took on the role of the scribe in my team. We started off super productive as a team but quickly issues among the group arose.
