Yesterday we told you all about our herculean efforts in staging a photoshoot with 180 school children to launch the Make Your Mark Challenge.
As we said yesterday, our idea was to gather a huge group of school students into a large footprint and photograph them from above. The footprint image would allude to the concept Read more…
We spend a lot of time thinking and talking about enterprise and entrepreneurship, and, in particular, the importance that many small and new businesses attach to environmental awareness.
But we’re grown-ups. Let’s face: the fertile and colourful imaginations of children make us look deathly boring. So we asked the great kids from St. Matthew Academy to give Read more…
This morning the redoubtable Make Your Mark comms and education teams – together with a little help from our friends at Threepipe – assembled on Blackheath Common in south London to stage an ambitious photo shoot with 180 schoolkids to launch the Make Your Mark Challenge.

Alex gives his view of the Share and Spark London event that brought together entrepreneurs and corporates for an evening of learning and networking.
