I have thought of and mind mapped a few ideas out for my project. My first idea was to base my project on something i really enjoy and is now a part time job for myself. This idea was dance, however once thinking this through thou-ally, i thought it would be quite difficult to link this into the theme of "sense of place". Once discussing this first idea with Suzzie, we came to the conclusion that how dance can take you to another place and what emotions you feel through your dancing. However, i thought this topic was not as close to my heart as something else and i would not be able to expand greatly on this.
My second idea was to focus on family and upbringing. A vast number of family members were born and still live in Birmingham. For example, my grandparents, mother and uncle are all from Birmingham but later moved down to Wales after my uncle was born. On the other hand, remaining family members such as aunties, cousins, great nan etc stayed there. We often visit them during holiday times, so i thought this could of been a good idea as it would link into again the theme "sense of place" On the other hand, as i was not born and brought up in Birmingham, i thought i would have little to relate to apart from family.
