The Children are our Future

"I believe the children are our future
Teach them well and let them lead the way
Show them all the beauty they possess inside
Give them a sense of pride to make it easier
Let the children's laughter remind us how we used to be"

So sang mighty R&B warbler, Whitney Houston, in her chart-topping monster The Greatest Love of All. And we completely agree, which is why we recently welcomed a work experience student and ran a workshop for eight creative teams from the award-winning Bucks College.

Charlotte Meadows

Charlotte Meadows came in on work experience from Rosebery Girls School, Epsom. She lived life on the cutting edge of 'direct' by spending time with different Wunderman experts every day. In summing up the week she said, "Enlightening and inspiring. Linking secondary students with creative businesses like Wunderman feels like a great way to learn about the world of advertising."

Charlotte's mentor (also the workshop leader), 45 year-old Creative Director Nigel Edginton-Vigus (from beneath his new G-Unit hoodie) added, "Aye. Totally sick, innit."

At the workshop, there were presentations from the third year students, lively debate and book critiques – all accompanied with a few beers, crisps and sweets (which always help). The cream of Wunderman's creative talent was on hand to share their thoughts, experience and wisdom with 'da yoof'.
