At the Momentum Office in Chesterfield it is a hive of activity. Looking at the Janus timer it is 1 week, 3 days and 21 hours before the start of a very exciting project.

This afternoon the international team will Skype to share progress updates. I am feeling very excited about this project. So many countries with such different stories to tell. I can't wait to be part of this amazing partnership building event which will lead on to many new Erasmus+ projects being developed.

Time is short but the general buzz is we are ready for amazing things to happen

Planning Under Way

The team has met up today and had a great initial meeting. The Janus project promises to be an amazing event. Thanks to Susie, Sue, Leo, Liz, Trevor, Conor, Andrew and Paul for their focus and ideas.

The Momentum Team

Momentum are really proud to be part of this amazing project, we are supporting it from the background but here is some information about who our team is...

Andrew Hadley - CEO

I have always been interested in other languages and cultures, and have lived and worked in many different countries. As British Council director in Macedonia, I created the Blue Sky network and several other innovative international youth projects. That is how I discovered my passion for working with young people, which led to setting up Momentum with Paul and Trevor. I firmly believe in the power of international exchange and intercultural learning to change lives, and I want to create more opportunities for this, especially for UK young people. I love music, film, architecture and of course my family.

Trevor Keough - Operations Director

Hello. I am Trevor Keough and I am the Operations Director for Momentum responsible for all logistic, planning and financial matters as well as being involved in training and facilitation. I enjoy our work with Momentum, making a difference in young people’s lives. I want to do more of this and help to build a successful social enterprise, growing and providing employment for others.
My other interests are my family, hill walking, rugby, golf, travel and current affairs.

Paul Oxborough - Creative Director

Since the age of 17 I have worked as a trained Youth & Community worker, I professionally qualified in 1992. Since then I have used innovation and technology to push the boundaries in my youth work in order to make projects educational, empowering and inclusive. I set up a successful film training company in 2000 and I am a founding Director of Momentum. My work has allowed me to travel the world and meet some inspirational characters along the way. I am married with two teenage girls and I enjoy reading, motorbikes, running and new gadgets.

Amy Stables - Creative Assistant

I first worked with Momentum in 2005 when I was studying for my A-levels. Unsure what interest to pursue at University, Momentum gave me the opportunity to develop my film making skills through working on international projects. This is where my love for filmmaking grew. Now, having completed my degree in Film and Television production. I am back working for Momentum, on projects which benefit young people like myself. I am an example of how Momentum work with young people long term and help provide an array of opportunities. I have a passion for the outdoors, travelling and photography.
