4. Projects is an umbrella space to house any work that is
similar or that naturally has links with another piece of
evidence you have uploaded.
5. For instance, if you have been on a DofE expedition, you may have
written a blog about the activities you have completed and you may
have also uploaded several photos or videos which demonstrate your
teamwork or resilience.
If this is the case, it’s a good idea to collect all of these evidence
points together under one title on Projects. This way a second viewer
(a teacher - connection - or even employer) can see the link you’re
making.

8. EPQ
An EPQ is a wonderful qualification that allows you to work
independently and demonstrate a host of great employability skills,
including creativity, data analysis, research, written
communication and so many more.
If you are completing an EPQ, you might want to ‘house’ all of the
different parts of your project under one title. You might upload
screenshots to verify extension reading, you might maintain a
blog diary to record how you are getting on, you might even
record your presentation and upload it to videos.
10. Projects are a clever way of demonstrating teamwork or group
work. Very often, you will be working in groups or sharing a task.
Projects allows you to tag other Connections into the work you have
completed, so that everyone who has contributed can be credited.

12. Let’s take a Media project as an example.
One person may have written a script, another person may have
story-boarded a scene, someone else may have filmed.
Well, under projects, everyone’s contribution can be rewarded and
a potential employer can see the final ‘product.’
You can still write blogs and upload photos, videos and documents,
just like other sections of your profile. And of course, you can still
tag skills which will contribute to your progression wheel on your
profile’s homepage.
