I would like to introduce Confetti to steemit but before I go on I want to fill you in on the hows and whys...

It's been almost a week now since @pennsif hosted his radio show and had all us UK steemians brainstorming over a virtual cup of tea and scones. The chat was lively and the ideas came in thick and fast about how to increase the UK steemit scene. To say our numbers only total a poultry 100 I was surprised by the amount of energy in the room that night.

On the night we had all sorts of characters, ranging from film directors, photographers, musicians and general bloggers like myself and we were all eager to throw our tuppence into Pennsif's proverbial hat. After three hours of intros and chit-chat, the night was over and I left with a positive feeling, I also realized that I need to pay more attention to what's happening in my own backyard. It became apparent that I have been missing out on reading some cracking posts and overlooked some very talented and enthusiastic Brits, all keeping the UK flag flying high.

One Steemian, in particular, is @basilmarples and if you haven't already seen his amazingly funny movie, titled "Paul is dead", then I suggest you take a 13-minute detour after reading this post and go check it out.

Not only was it great to see and hear such a diverse group of active steemit members it also went along nicely with the tuppence I had thrown into the hat earlier on in the show. So this brings me on nicely to blowing my own trumpet and I hope the idea I have to show you all will sound like sweet music to your ears...

I live in a fantastically creative part of the UK named Nottinghamshire. Due to the inherent talent on offer in this great city, we have one of the most awesome media arts colleges the country has to offer. I myself have been a student here, once upon a time, after enrolling on one of its music production courses. However, it isn't just music that Confetti helps tutor the next generation on...

We’re Confetti

We’re a specialist creative industry institute part of Nottingham Trent University and our Creative Quarter campus is home to the very best technology, studios and equipment, industry-connected tutors and over 1600 passionate and committed students. Our graduates go on to careers in music, gaming, TV, film, live events, graphic design and many more.

At Confetti, we offer courses at varying levels to suit a range of academic abilities, but what unites all our students and tutors is a passion for creative technology. We then use our skills, experience and industry links to help turn that passion into real job options. Find out more by discovering our range of college courses, foundation and three-year honours degrees, and postgraduate degrees or coming along to an open day.

The equipment and experienced tutors on offer have helped many brilliantly talented youngsters realize their potential and it is this hive of up and coming stars I would like to invite onto the steemit blockchain.

Over the next few days (or maybe weeks if that's what it will take) I intend to devise a way to approach this college and offer them the oppertunity to tap into the steemit blockchain. This must be a most-cunning plan and one that would be able to impress the slyest of foxes.

I know from personal experience that educational institutes are very wary about introducing youngsters to anything that may not be easily safeguarded and I would like your input as to how I should overcome this proverbial hurdle...

So do I just ask to be able to hand out some simple flyers and keep my introductions to a minimal...? Or maybe, once I have gained accsess to the communal room under the guise of a student who is just looking to enroll on a course, I should just go full-retard and blaze both barrels at anyone in earshot...? But then again that probably isnt the wisest of things to do and a more professional approach could be more effective...

Steemian unite!!

I need your input on how to do this. Any links you may have to some simple steemit-guides would be a great help. Do any of you have any good Dtube videos that would serve as a good example of what we have to offer? And lets not forget Dsound either! My point is that we have a wealth of features to blow the socks off this crowd and if this can be pitched in the right way then I am sure I can double the number of UK steemians.

All I need now is a little help from my steemit-friends...

Peace to you and yours and I look forward to hearing your suggestions
