We are a team of students from a school in the town who attended the 3 day event on September 2005 (21st-23rd). Our role was to report and comment on the vision for Bolton as the people present, including us, shared views and opinions. You need to be heard too so this blog is yours to speak through. Our work goes on right up to this moment...J Bidderhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08075390398575158424noreply@blogger.comBlogger111100tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15478792.post-1128960279380804602005-10-10T16:42:00.000+01:002005-10-10T17:04:39.386+01:00

Well, after Bolton's Future Search on the 21st, 22nd and 23rd of September 2005 I journeyed up to Lancaster Leadership School to talk with other colleagues from Cheshire and Cumbria about their work on community leadership. I was proud to be able to relay, along with Brian and Kelly, a few highlights from our future search conference. I hope others will be inspired to run their own conferences -

Bolton's Future Search is over....but the real work has just begun! It's totally down to us whether or not we will make Every Child Matter in Bolton...or we will have attended this event and made empty promises. I have great faith in everyone who came to the conference and I'm sure great things will come of it. These three brilliant days will live with me forever, and I hope this blog will also

Wow! It has been a long and tiring day. Our day began at 9am and ended at 5.30pm with everybody feeling very tired, but as all the adults went home we drove straight to school and changed into our uniform(which were in the boot of the car) and helped out at the Sharples School Open Evening. Although we were all absolutely shattered, we all had a brilliant day. I thought it would be impossible
