Middle it out! - or Mid-Pitching event


 No matter how well you are prepared - you will always be a little anxious before speaking in front of 50-odd people. And your perfectionism will always point out to some details that could be just slightly polished.

To avoid any second thoughts just seconds before pitch's beginning, we have been intensively discussing its structure and content on Facebook conversation for days. To ensure everything's in its right place, The Dream Team has also scheduled meeting right before the whole event started. Eli and Dominika,The Chosen One (for a Pitch Speaker), has arrived first to do "timer rehearsal" and check if Dreamer can deliver a speech in ONLY three minutes.

After that part, rest of the members has joined to deal with slide presentation double-checking. Though the Dreamers were exchanging remarks at speed of light and it could give impression of chaos, preparations were going smoothly.



And so did team's pitch! Maybe thanks to all members' effort, maybe thanks to good form the Dream Team has chosen - pitch went really well! Dominika did not exceed time limit; audience listened carefully; feedback from other teams and facilitators was positive and contained very few critical points.
Form was reflecting idea of storytelling gardens and playgrounds inspired by popular children books written by Finnish authors. The speech was actually a story about Sastamala 's to its "happily ever after"! (in role of white knight - The Dream Team members).


Who was no there present, still have a chance to make it up. On May 19th Final Pitching will take place in Mediapolis. You don't want to miss it, believe me!








Work hard, play hard! Undoubtedly we deserve some fun right now!
