Poster Ideas and Content for the SALP Symposium

=__CONTENT__= What I'm thinking of is that we can put in a lot of stuff from our proposal into the poster, especially for the background section.

I have thought of some of the poster content. We need to put them and arrange them in a nice order later..

=__**Melbourne-Loddon City Country Student Exchange**__=

(Abstract/Summary)The project is a pilot exchange program between Melbourne University students and Boort P-12 students in the Loddon Shire. The trip to Loddon Shire will be held on 21st to 23rd of September 2011. We plan to bring 6 Melbourne University students from different faculties and background to visit the Loddon Shire, North Victoria for 3 days of agri and eco tourism experience. Apart from having a fun tour, the group will visit Boort P-12 College for a forum and discussion session with year 10, 11 and 12 students to increase awareness of higher education opportunities, especially at the University of Melbourne. The forum hopes to spark the students' interest in joining the reciprocal exchange to Melbourne in 5th to 7th December 2011. The Melbourne trip aims to provide 6 Boort P-12 students with Melbourne University experience and fun Melbourne city experience.

(Background) The University of Melbourne has established a partnership with the Loddon Shire City Council to assist the Shire after the Northern Victorian floods in early 2011. The council has identified the need to increase the tourism yield of the younger market segment and to bring professionals into the rural area. On the other hand, education being a key to development, there is a mutual interest to increase the awareness of rural students in the opportunities of tertiary education and also increasing their familiarity with the metropolitan setting for future transition into Melbourne. __**The Loddon Trip**__ 21 - 23 September 2011 __**Aims:**__ -increasing tourism traffic by bringing youths into the community -promote agri tourism and eco tourism -broadening horizons of city students -raising prospects of future professionals to develop in rural communities -promote the University of Melbourne

=__**POSTER OUTLINE**__= -Put some pictures from our Loddon Trip -Put the map Loddon and Melbourne. Probably Loddon on top right of page and Melbourne on bottom left, then we can link them with train tracks as the page border? = = =From Naomi:= Hey guys,

This is an example of my vision of the poster. I agree with Vio pretty much. I suppose the content would be: Back ground: exactly as Vio had it Future Vision: same as Vio Melb-Loddon: like Vio, but aims: -promote agri tourism and eco tourism -broaden horizon city students - raise prospect for future professional in the area devel. What is happening: -Forum -Tours (akrasi wines, simply green, aussie wool) -Nature loving- Melville caves! Loddon-Melb: again, like Vio, but aims: -broaden horizon loddon students - increase awareness of higher education opportunities - display a side of melbourne uni culture that they probably wouldn't know about/get to see. What is happening- Master class and forum - Amazing race -Melb culture activities (ie koko black).

My only think about this poster is getting the balance between pretty and the right amount of info (it's gotta be just right!) Also, I love dot points! So maybe background and vision could be text and the rest dot points?
