Special thanks to St. Joseph'c College for giving us the space to host this event! 

At 7 there will be a "Slam" event where the first part of their stories will be hear and the best will go on to the next level. Its going to be a great night!

This is only one teams of the day and there are about 10 teams out and about the city and there will be posts about their work as it comes in. The "slam" part of the night starts at 7 pm, where they will be playing clips of their work to get to the next level of the competition. 

Can't wait to see how the participants and mentors took the advice and what they come up with in just a few hours! 

BREAKFAST! We all gathered back to Saint Josephs College this morning to get some food and get into groups to start the day. We began by playing a "Celebrity Head" game, where everyone has a celebrity taped on their back and has to ask questions to find out who they are. Everyone had a surprising amount of energy this morning and was ready to take on the full day ahead. 

Tomorrow they will  go out on the street and report on the issues they are talking about tonight. Each team is working with a mentor and they are focusing their reporting for tomorrow! For most of the day tomorrow they will be out on the streets in different parts of the city to ask people about their themes! They will then put together a report that will be played tomorrow night. They have 30 hrs from start to finish!
