We are thrilled to have been part of the amazing WorldSkills National Finals event. This event is the culmination of an international competition that takes place throughout the year, with heats leading up to the grand finale. The aim of these competitions is to help kids develop their skills in areas like cyber security, floristry, catering, hairdressing, and sustainability.
We juggled logistics across six different venues, all at the same time, for an entire week. Picture this: 80 competitions happening simultaneously, and we were right in the middle of it all. Our task was to create awesome exhibitions at each venue, bringing the college experience to a conference space. It was quite a challenge, but we loved every minute of it!
The best part? Thousands of primary school children attended the event. There was great energy and excitement across the whole event. The National Finals took place in six awesome locations: Ireland, Edinburgh, Blackpool, Cardiff, Barking and Dagenham, and Middlesbrough. These kids came in ready to try new skills, and we were there to make it happen.
Our Director, Isla, summed it up perfectly when she said, "This event has been one of the most inspiring experiences for me. Seeing how WorldSkills has changed the lives of people who haven't had the right opportunities is simply amazing." The stories we heard about the impact of WorldSkills were incredible, and it's heartwarming to know that we played a part in making a difference.
To wrap it up, We are ftw couldn't be prouder to have been involved in WorldSkills National Finals. It was an unforgettable journey, working alongside talented individuals and witnessing the growth of these young participants. We're excited for future collaborations with organizations that share our passion for creating memorable events and empowering people from all walks of life.
