5. #taking flight
Resonant to our chosen home in
Thunderbird’s campus for a venue, this is
about helping our audiences realize they
have a few extra feathers on their wings to
help them fly above whatever ceiling they or
others have drawn for them; To feel limitless
towards their cause and purpose. More
importantly and in a deeper more resound
meaning, this is about finding cause and
purpose through education of the self.
Our intent is to make our audience, the high
school students aged 15 to 18, our primary
focus and judge for content. And so doing,
are structuring our method and process
hiring in their efforts early on in producing
the event “for youth, by youth”.
