日期：2023年6月30日，星期五，两名雷克瑟姆-格林德沃大学（wgu）的学生获得了一项国家奖项，以表彰他们在成立一家社会企业公司方面所做的努力，该公司旨在缓解人们在访问新地方时可能面临的焦虑。 karen williams和roxanne france barton是非营利、社会企业、熟悉视频的联合创始人， 上周在加的夫举行的威尔士创业奖上，被宣布为年度创意创业奖的获奖者。 卡伦和罗克珊都来自雷克瑟姆，目前正在攻读该大学的心理健康与幸福学位。 早在2021年，熟悉视频就创建了场馆和公共空间的详细游览视频，以帮助减少焦虑，最大限度地减少人们在去新的或不熟悉的地方时可能面临的障碍。 他们的视频包括整个场馆的所有功能，从停车场或下车点一直到厕所、消防出口、感官输入和无障碍功能。 颁奖典礼结束后，熟悉视频的创始人karen说：“我们非常高兴，在月球上，能够被提名为国家级奖项的获得者，我们不知所措。 我们真的很高兴。 “自从作为一家社交企业推出熟悉视频以来，我们一直非常努力地通过我们详细的旅游视频来提高可访问性，目的是降低人们在去以前从未去过的地方时的焦虑程度。 这项工作获得国家奖项对我们和团队来说意义重大。 熟悉视频的联合创始人roxanne说：“这样的认可水平真是太棒了，对我们来说，这意味着我们有望进一步提高我们为人们提供的无障碍支持水平。”。 “我们未来几个月的目标是围绕无障碍性开发一些提高认识的课程。 我们注意到，除非它影响到某人——无论是他们自己还是他们所爱的人——否则人们的普遍意识是不存在的。 因此，对我们来说，能够提供这种教育是关键。 凯伦和罗珊妮都感谢他们的大学讲师一直以来的鼓励和支持。 罗珊妮说：“我们都非常感谢学校，特别是我们的讲师们一直以来的支持和鼓励。 他们对我们获奖的反应非常好，没有他们我们就不会有现在的成就。 wgu心理健康与幸福高级讲师justinemason补充道：“祝贺karen和roxanne被评为年度创意创业公司，这是多么令人难以置信的成就，同时也平衡了他们与我们的学习。”。 “他们通过熟悉视频所做的工作令人惊叹，并对社区中许多人的生活产生了影响。 我是一个非常自豪的讲师。 “作为一个非营利的社会企业，熟悉视频依靠筹款来维持他们的工作——最近几个月，凯伦和罗珊娜定期组织慈善活动来筹集资金。 7月28日，他们将于晚上7点开始在雷克瑟姆的塞伦酒吧举办一场以《老友记》为主题的美国电视情景喜剧智力竞赛。 欢迎所有人。 欢迎所有人。date: friday 30th june, 2023 two wrexham glyndwr university (wgu) students have won a national award, recognising their efforts in setting up a social enterprise company, which aims to alleviate anxiety people may face when visiting a new place. karen williams and roxanne france-barton, who are co-founders of non-profit, social enterprise, familiarisation videos, were announced as the winners of the creative startup of the year category at the wales startup awards, which took place last week in cardiff. karen and roxanne, both from wrexham, are currently students on the university’s mental health and wellbeing degree. set up back in 2021, familiarisation videos create detailed tour videos of venues and public spaces to help reduce anxiety and minimise barriers people may face when going somewhere new or unfamiliar. their videos include all features throughout a venue from car park or drop off point right through to toilets, fire exits, sensory input, and accessibility features. speaking after the awards ceremony, karen, founder of familiarisation videos, said: “we are absolutely delighted, over-the-moon, overwhelmed – you name it – to have been named winners of a national award. we truly are delighted. “since launching familiarisation videos as a social enterprise, we have worked extremely hard to improve accessibility through our detailed tour videos, with the goal of reducing people’s anxiety levels when attending somewhere they haven’t been before. to have this work recognised with a national award means so much to us and the team.” roxanne, familiarisation videos co-founder, said: “this level of recognition is absolutely fantastic and for us means that we will hopefully be able to further enhance the level of support we can offer people relating to accessibility. “our ambition for the months ahead is to develop some awareness courses around accessibility. what we’ve noticed is that unless it impacts someone – be that themselves personally or one of their loved ones – people’s general awareness isn’t there. so for us, being able to provide that education is key.” both karen and roxanne have thanked their university lecturers for their continued encouragement and support. roxanne said: “we’re both hugely grateful for the ongoing support and encouragement from the university, particularly our lecturers. their reaction to us winning the award has been so lovely, we wouldn’t be where we are now without them.” justine mason, wgu senior lecturer in mental health and wellbeing, added: “congratulations to karen and roxanne for being named creative startup of the year – what an incredible achievement, while balancing their studies with us. “the work they’re doing through familiarisation videos is amazing and making a difference to the lives of so many people in the community. i’m an extremely proud lecturer.” being a of non-profit, social enterprise, familiarisation videos relies on fundraising to sustain their work – and in recent months, karen and roxanne have been organising regular charity events to raise funds. on 28th july, they will be hosting a ‘friends’ – the american television sitcom – themed quiz at the saith seren pub in wrexham, starting from 7pm. all are welcome. .本文来源： 雷克瑟姆的学生在国家奖项中获得年度创意创业奖
