During Inno58h you will document all the activities that you do, all the material you collect and all the tools you use. To give you a structure for this documentation process we decided that each one of you will do a portfolio during the whole of Inno58h.
Here are the instructions for the portfolio.
We encourage you to start working (collecting material) for your portfolio already now. Each time you do Inno58h work, also add what you do to your portfolio. That way the portfolio will be created throug-out the process.

Guidelines
for portfolio
What
is a portfolio?
Portfolios
are widely used by artist, painters, photographers etc. In past 10
years the use of portfolios has also spread into many other fields,
for instance marketing. A portfolio is a way for a person to show
their work, show who they are and that they have done. It is a way to
market oneself, to market what knowledge and expertise one has.
In
a portfolio you collect all the work that you think gives proof of
your knowledge, your skills, your work, and what you are able to do.
The portfolio can contain different types of material, it can be
drawings, it can be videos, it can be different documents,
presentations, spreadsheets, mind maps, etc. Any material you believe
gives proof of what you can, what your knowledge, skills and
expertise is.
Think
of it this way. If somebody you don't know asks you what you know and
what you have done, you give them your portfolio and they will get
an idea of you and your work.
For
what do you use a portfolio in Inno58h and what can it look like?
In
your portfolio, which is individual work, you will collect all the
work you do during this course. You need to document, make
documentation of everything you do during the course up until you
arrive in Kunstenniemi.
Your
portfolio can in in and form you like, physical or electronic. The
important thing is that you need to be able to show it to anybody, at
any time. Your work, your skills, needs to be available to others so
they can take part of what you have done. In this way you share your
knowledge!
Deadlines
Your
portfolio needs to be done before your groups arrives in
Kunstenniemi. However, your portfolio needs to be visible to the
coaches at latest by the second working day, on the 14th of
February.
Remember
that the portfolio is individual work, but you are able to present it
in any way or form you like.
