The Project - about the project
'Go personal, dig deep for your advice and tell it how you want it to be told.'
First piloted in 2006, advice to sink in slowly is an ongoing series of posters designed by graduates for the purpose of passing on advice and inspiration to first year students. An advice poster is given as a welcoming gift to every student starting a course at participating Universities when they enrol.
Our ethos:
- Everyone has a piece of advice they wish they had known earlier, but often don’t have the chance to pass that advice on to where it can make a difference.
- Advice is subjective. But by passing on advice in a creative way, it is possible to create something that lasts, that people will want to live with and which lets the advice sink in slowly and help out later on.
- The prospect of University can be scary and it can take a while to feel at home and comfortable in their new surroundings. As well as passing on advice, the project aims to help new students to feel welcome and bring a sense of belonging and continuity to their first days at University.
- Above all, it is the attempt at the exchange that matters most.
