I stumbled upon this site and found it rather interesting. Check out how happy your country is versus the rest of the world or just within Europe. Us grumps, here in the UK don’t come out too well despite the rather high standards of living we have versus other parts of the world.It’s also possible to carry out a survey to compare your Personal Happiness Index versus the world average - sobering reading indeed.It seems that money really can’t buy you love, or in this case, happiness, but in any case, it’s still worth a read.
Stand has just won a four way pitch (something we’re ecstatic about !) to continue our brand development of the Healthy Working Lives awards scheme which we rebranded last year. The contract is for one year, where we’ll be acting as brand guardians with local authorities as well as day to day dealings with the HWL marketing team.Yvonne Powell, Marketing and Communications Manager at the Scottish centre for Healthy Working Lives said “I’m delighted to be working with the team at Stand, and look forward to continuing the development of the Healthy Working Lives brand with them over the next twelve months. Their commitment and enthusiasm for building our brand played a key role in awarding them the contract.”
…well, the Scotsman newspaper, does it get any bigger ?
Greenock based regeneration specialist, Ballyconnelly Group, and Stand are currently working with Inverclyde Schools to facilitate a design project to help students create concepts for what their community of the future might look like. Ballyconnelly Group want to involve children from the local area to help shape what homes and communities of the future should look like. Stand was brought on board due to its experience of engaging young people in design projects for Clydebank Rebuilt and Loretto Housing Association. Stuart Gilmour, creative director of Stand said, “My involvement as a designer is to offer input which will help the students think about how to approach the project to best answer the brief. I’ve encouraged them to look all around for design ideas from their direct living environment to European architecture. I’ve also opened their minds to the idea of what they’d like from public space in a recreational sense. We’ve explored the idea of what home, buildings and public space mean, and how your living environment affects how you feel.”
Both Pol Stewart of Ballyconnelly and Stand’s creative director, Stuart Gilmour will spend three and half days with each school over a three week period, offering the students design, arts, construction and architecture guidance and advice.
Comments, Jenny Renfrew, cultural co-ordinator within the arts education team at Inverclyde Schools, “We’re always looking for great projects to take to schools in the local area. Ballyconnelly Group is interested in making a difference locally and involving young people to encourage them to feel good about themselves and the local environment. The company has been a pleasure to work with and we hope to work with them again in the future.“I’ve worked with Stand in a previous post and knew that they would be perfect for this project. They are equally committed and share Ballyconnelly’s company ethos of ‘giving something back’. Stuart has been fantastic with the students who have really listened and responded to his advice and prompts.”
