This year 10 companies made it possible for

10

students to attend the Do Lectures.

The deal was that the companies sponsored their tickets and in return the students would prepare a short film of their time at the Do Lectures and make a short presentation to the company about their time at the Do’s.

The students left the talks tired, buzzing with ideas, trying to make sense of it all and also with some rare and real inspirational short films (shot solely on an iPod touch).

The students have now made good of their promise and this is what they all made of it.

Big thanks to the companies and to the students.
