How will we function as a team?


What we really need, is to get closer to each other. And before we start to think about the assignment and make a plan, we want some love and human contact.
That is why we kick-off the teamwork with a very social lunch (where we pick food from each others plates) and a follow up at Ul's home on tuesday night.


Why do we do this? The answer is: In order to be creative, and allow all ideas to pop up and get motivated, we must start to get to know each other. We are going to build the team on a solid ground, where we trust and like each other – although we might disagree and argue a lot, we really must respect and appreciate every team member and hers or his contributions towards the end result.


The creation of the blog, with a funny name and an excusive domain, and hand-made grafitti illustration by Malik and blind-folded group-photo is other examples of how we want to have fun in the group. The social activities are important to us.
Another important stone to put into the foundation of this team is the social media excursions, that we do together, severely encouraged by Mark... (Thank's Mark!)
We want to get to know, and understand more, how we can use social media. That will make us a stronger team. And we will look out for “the WOW factor” together, to inspire each other in this particular field of communication.

We also aim to stay in touch every day, through out these three weeks. Although Ul is only taking active part in the first week, we will try to meet up a lot. And we will sit down and make a proper plan for the research and idea process, and the function of the team and divide responsibilities between us, for this assignment.

One of the first things we decided, as a group, was that we are going to work side by side in this project, instead of fighting over the top-position.
We will hold each others hands. With love.
