Tillydrone community campus is excited to welcome its new Project Coordinator Marie Strang. Being the campus\u2019 first Project Coordinator employee, Marie is local to the area growing up in Woodside and hanging around Tillydrone when she was younger. There are a lot of things planned for the community so let\u2019s find out a little bit more.<\/p>

The SCIO at the community campus hasn\u2019t had a project coordinator before so the role is as new to the campus, and it is to Marie. When covid hit the campus was made into a vaccination centre which meant it was out of action for quite a while and the SCIO have struggled to get activities up and going the past few years but since her appointment Marie has already got Drama and Dance clubs on the go.\u00a0 Although the campus is currently owned by the council the long-term aim is to get SCEO in charge and run it by themselves.<\/p>

For anyone who doesn\u2019t know what a SCIO is the best way to describe it is \u201cthey’re a board of people, who have got the community’s interest at heart, and they just want to see it being used by the people.\u201d<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Marie is also involved with Shazam Theatre Company and runs classes at the campus, there are also other classes\/ clubs such as homework club, games club, dance workshops and blueberry yoga that anyone can join in. She hopes that her after hours voluntary work can have an influence and bring more creativity.<\/p>

\u201cThey’ve decided to shut the doors at half three, so that young people can’t get in. And part of my role, I’m hoping, is that we can kind of get the young people in, show them if they’re respecting the building, they can be here in the building.\u201d<\/p>

Also, as part of her role, Marie is looking to get in touch with the younger generation and bring them up through the campus and bring them in as part of the community. Marie looks to bring creativity to the community with all her ideas but if anyone has any suggestions or experience that they want to bring to the table, then you can email Marie on Tillydronepc@gmail.com<\/a>.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

With a cafe and library too, the campus is open for everyone to come and enjoy and you may even see Marie around too!<\/p>
