This schedule enables the maximum number of students to be spoken to and use the obstacle course.
It is intended for the school day to run smoothly with all of the setting up to be done outside of school hours.
It also maximizes the amount of work done in as little time as possible.

The course is intended to put children in the shoes of refugees. This means being difficult and challenging to cross.  It must also be light and portable for transport to different venues.

I found this source helpful in determining how important social media is for this project. I also found more information and statistics such as:

-  "According to Hubspot, 92% of marketers in 2014 claimed that social media marketing was important for their business, with 80% indicating their efforts increased traffic to their websites" (Hussain, Ghufran and Chaubey 2016).
-  "according to Social Media Examiner, 97% of marketers are currently participating in social media" (Hussain, Ghufran and Chaubey 2016).

These statistics explain why social media sites are especially important for attracting people to the event and website. They also showed how important it was for me and Chloe who is developing the web site to work together and communicate effectively.

Readers please note: On the 1st of every month we post a new social media report, the below report is not our latest figures. Please see here the most up to date report.

Over the summer months in Australia we generally see an uptick in social media activity as people take time off work and school to enjoy the summer holidays.

Selfies at the beach, photos with family and friends and getting outdoors gives us plenty of reason to post more content to social media sites.

It is also a time where new users sign up to social networking sites as a result of the increased activity by existing users.

Facebook has also since an increase, now up to 16 million active Australian users. The questions is how many more can they get?
Social Media Statistics Australia - January 2017

1. Facebook - 16,000,000 users (up 1 million since last update)
2. YouTube - 14,800,000 UAVs
3. WordPress.com - 5,150,000
4. Instagram - 5,000,000 Monthly Active Australian Users (Facebook/ Instagram data)
5. Snapchat - 4,000,000 DAILY Active Australian Users (Snapchat data)
6. Tumblr - 4,000,000
7. LinkedIn - 3,600,000
8. WhatsApp - 3,100,000 Active Australian Users (30% increase since 2015)
9. Twitter - 2,800,000 Monthly Active Australian Users approx

(All figures represent the number of Unique Australian Visitors [UAVs] to that website over the monthly period - unless otherwise stated above). Australian Facebook Users As A Percentage Of The Total Population
According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics Population Clock there are approximately 24.3 million Australians.

Facebook's recent data shows there are now 16 million active Australians on Facebook.

Therefore approximately 65.8% of the total Australian population is an active Facebook user. This is a huge number.
Penetration of the Australian Population
Approximately:

6 in 10 Australians use Facebook, almost 7 in 10 Australians

1 in 2 Australians use YouTube

1 in 5 Australians use Instagram

1 in 6 Australians use Snapchat

Key Points to Note:

65.8% of the total Australian population is an active monthly user on Facebook.

1 in 6 Australians are a Daily User on Snapchat.

Over the year we have seen both Instagram and Snapchat grow their Australian user base considerably.

Twitter has experienced stagnant user growth over the past 2 years and has a considerable churn rate of new users signing up but then never using the service.

TripAdvisor has seen a slight increase over the month as the summer period entices people to holiday and travel.

1.   Marketing & advertising tool:

Create a stronger social media presence

Aims to attract parental figures and schools as the main target audience

Work with Public figures for more exposure or to attract more people (Parents, Teachers, Schools, Etc)

2.   Easily Accessible:

Easy to find and follow as majority of people have at least one social media platform

Creates a space where all the basic information about the event (what the event is for, goals, what the activities look like) can be easily found

3.   Promote and draw attention to other aspects or content related to the event:

Logistics (Josef) – sharing pictures on Instagram to promote the obstacle course

Journalism (Shenae) – Posts on Twitter about new articles publish and links to access them on the website

# data[].attributes.body
i have to work along side with chloe the most as she's the web designer. The brochure design must compliment the web design, for a more so sophisticated and professional look.

# data[].attributes.body
we need to consider the cost of paper and ink if we were to print our own brochures.

We would also need to consider the cost if we were to send it to a printing company.
what option would be the

cheapest and most efficient?

Printing company:
·   Different companies will offer different prices most of them However, have a similar cost range.
·      the cost will also depend on the size of the brochure.

·      The cost will be less if they are bought in big amounts.

·       estimate: $200 for 1000 copies on A4 paper.

Cost of paper and ink:
·      comparing with the example above:
-one A4 gloss paper= $27 for 100 pack
-ink at Officeworks cost between $100-$200

The cheapest option would be getting the brochures printed by a printing company.

Before:

What is a refugee?

Why do they come to countries like Australia?

Do you know what they do once they are over here?

Do you know what the obstacle course is for?

Which social media site did you find the most information for our project on?

After:

What have you learnt about refugees?

Did the project teach you anything you didn't already know?

Did you enjoy the project?

Is there anything else you would've liked to learn?

# data[].attributes.body
Why I chose to write articles about the project:

It is a good way for people who didn’t attend on the day to look back at the outcome.

Children and teachers are being involved through interviews.

It gives more exposure to the event online and adds more information to our website.

How the articles/interviews help the project:

The project outcome will be on the website for everyone to see, which will continually be updated for continued learning. This is also where the articles will be found, which will add a further description of the day and what people’s opinions were. Through the interviews I will be able to find out what children or teachers knew before the project versus after it, which will give us an understanding of how successful the project was.

Things to consider when writing the articles 

# data[].attributes.body
Not to refer to refugees as ‘boat people’, illegal immigrants’ or anything along those lines.

Make sure Erin’s research is included in either before or after.

Ensure that I edit the articles and make no spelling/grammar mistakes.

Include the outcome and peoples opinions of the project in both articles.

# data[].attributes.body
I need to consider
-simplicity of language is appropriate for the audience
-speech is not too long due to attention span of the children
-it does not offend any particular group
Is there anything else?

Main Idea: Australia looks at refugees as a threat to their way of living, yet the experts understand that they are not. I have chosen this as an idea because most of the children we are trying to educate or give more information to will be influence by their parents and this will be a common idea presented in households.
Supporting Evidence:
- Minister Dutton says that refugees "won't be numerate or literate in their own language, let alone English" then follows this statement with "these people would be taking Australian jobs". This creates that understanding that people who are qualified understand that refugees won't pose a significant risk to working class Australians, rather they are using refugees as a point of entry to gain votes from the working class (Page 54).

- "The June 2014 Audit by the Fair Work Ombudsman showed that 40% of the 457 visa holders [many being refugees] were being paid below the statutory minimum wage or had been let go." These positions are positions which are seen as 'below' a working class Australian, therefore they cannot threaten what an Australian does not want (page 53).

- Only 800,000 refugees have been settled in Australia since the end of World War II (page 50).

- More recently 13,750 places are being offered per year, most of these people are forced to stay in refugee camps. These people cannot pose a threat to the 'Australian lifestyle' if they are not here (page 50).

- Oversea Others Research

- Communicate Information to Team Members

- Correctly Reference

International Journal of Mental Health Systems 10. https://search-proquest-com.dbgw.lis.curtin.edu.au/docview/1773979068?accountid=10382.

Main Idea:
Despite the main idea of this article being to show the mental health issues refugees from Iraqi have, the text has many useful statistics and definitions which can be used.
This would allow for some simple statistics to be used on the website or brochure to grab attention.

Supporting evidence:
- 5 million people are in the category of concern to the United Nations (Page 1).

- "A refugee is a person who has left their home country as a result of a well-founded fear of persecution for reasons of race, religion, nationality,
membership of a particular social group or political
opinion" (Page 1).

- Australia has welcomed 750,000 people since World War II (Page 1).

- 30.6% of Iraqi refugees suffer from PTSD (Page 2).

- 30.8% of Iraqi refugees suffer from depression (Page 2).

Trounson, Justin S., Christine Critchley, and Jeffrey E. Pfeifer. 2015. "Australian Attitudes Towards Asylum Seekers: Roles of Dehumanization and Social Dominance Theory." Social Behavior and Personality 43 (10): 1641-1655. https://search-proquest-com.dbgw.lis.curtin.edu.au/docview/1746922434?accountid=10382.

Main Idea: This paper explores the negative reaction Australia has towards refugees.
This would be useful to this project as it would allow for us to have a starting point of what the children's home attitudes are towards refugees.

Supporting Evidence:
- Responses to refugees were homogenous throughout the study (page 1652).

- The Social Dominance Theory (SDO) suggests that in order to establish a sense of equality between the groups, the dominance Australian's feel over refugees must be disrupted (page 1642).

- Refugees have been dehumanised by those who argue against policies that support them (page 1643).

- When asked to rate their attitudes on refugees on a scale of 1 - 4 (1 being negative, 4 being positive), the average was 2.23. This establishes that there is some way to go before there is more positive attitudes (page 1647).

# data[].attributes.body
Why that was the chosen idea:

I chose to construct a website for the following reasons:

o   It is an interactive platform, so kids can play around with it and get actively involved in their learning instead of just having it thrown at them and it all goes over their head.

o   It would suit the target audience of children, as the inclusiveness of quizzes, pictures and videos would appeal to them a lot more than just tons of words.

o   Kids are growing up with technology, so it would suit their expectations/way of learning.

o   Displays different sections of information in an organised manner

o   Allows for collaboration between other work- can include links.

How it helps the overall project:

The use of a website helps the overall project as not only does it appeal to the target audience, but it supplies a platform that they can consistently check back in with. By updating the website and including the videos and pictures, the kids can continue to learn- it’s not just a one use only thing.

The website also acts as a good overall depiction of the project- it includes the articles, the social media, the graphics and so forth.

# data[].attributes.body
Planning/Research:

o   79% of users will send for another site to complete a task

o   90% of users will stop using an app if there is poor performance

o   86% of users will delete or uninstall an app

o   5X more likely to abandon a website if it doesn’t work across smartphone, desktop, etc

How I will keep this in mind:

-          Keep it mobile responsive

-          High quality colourful images

-          Organised content- visual hierarchy

-          High quality videos- appeal to target audience.

# data[].attributes.body
·      Will have a large amount of information about the program in a small piece of paper.

·      They are able to capture the attention of the target audience, especially when its well-designed.

·      Brochures are versatile, meaning it can be passed on from one person to another.

# data[].attributes.body
how can we make this project better for our environment?
·    purchasing a printer that do not have a lot of consumable parts.
·    using recyclable cartriges.
·    a printer should have an eco friendly logo/sticker
