Students’ team spirit is key in their success. The main purpose of this project will be to better the morale of students through real life story telling. At the end of the project, the target group should be able to know how to create a group blog to take their conversation to the wider community, attract notice and impress others, and expand their network. These will be accomplished through workshops as well ongoing support and mentoring
