Chapter one: Week 1

Today was a very important day since we made a presentation infront of 40 teachers and directors of schools in the area about all the possible workshops in the Chateau. The idea of these workshops was to engage children to learn about the history of the Chateau and the area through art activities. This alligns perfectly with my belief that having a knowledge about your origin fosters a sense of belonging and makes society better. Developing creativity and a sense of design expands the childrens perception and intake of life. I had to be social and adaptable as well as practice my French to show how the workshops would benefit the children. It was very successful fingers crossed. After that, I helped out one of my colleagues in the promotions and marketing sector to deal with some emails and business requests for the Chateau. I dealt with two emails one from a famous venue provider company who was interested in having the Château as a possible location to have corporate events where celebrities can host. This involved me answering questions such as space is available, the capacity of different rooms and many other things which exercised my existing skills of proportions and calculations. I also practice my creative persuasive writing as I had to write descriptions to really engulf the readers in the atmosphere of the château. It was a challenge as I had to write all the information in French and English so all possible customers could read it. I overcame this by asking my colleagues as well as using deep L which is an accurate translating device. The other email was from a famous American wedding company who had a marketing request. They wanted the Château to be a wedding venue they offer on a section on their website. This required me to look through all the wedding photos from the previous years and choose the most appealing shot to show the space and how it can be used.
