Tues 6^th – Fri 9^th March, 2018

     This week has had a strong focus on research. To begin a project on such a serious issue, we knew as a group that we needed to have as much information as possible on the areas of human trafficking we have chosen to look into. As each of us have been investigating, we found we have focused more on the Nigerian school girls than Stella’s Voice. However having both areas for research, it allows us to have a positive and negative region to look into. Within the stories of the Nigerian school girls, each of us have taken the issue in a slightly different way; allowing us to focus on different parts and have a broader knowledge of what happened.  In turn, this enables us to branch out into different areas of textiles and fashion to find what suits us best for this unit.

 

 

                I have found working this week quite difficult. Learning to work in a way that is out of my comfort zone and at a speed that is at a much faster pace for me has been challenging to tackle. Working with my group has really helped to make this easier. Seeing how the fashion students work is making it easier to understand where I might be going wrong from a fashion perspective. However juggling fashion work and textiles at the same time is so far proving to be very challenging. I hope that as the unit goes on and I settle into the work this will become easier.
