Thinking ahead
Start thinking about CAS activities and/or long-term projects you could get involved in.
Use Appendix A and B for inspiration! Remember that you must have a mix of:

 single experiences (a few hours to a day, no planning required e.g

participating in a marathon). Having only single experiences is not acceptable!
  series of experiences (a few days to a couple of weeks, some planning required
e.g going on a charity trip for the weekend.)
 projects (a few weeks to several months, require planning. You may not be
taking part of the leadership team here. You can just be a member. E.g being part
of a club.)
 the main project (at least one month in duration from planning to
implementation; must be collaborative; you must take part of the leadership
team to plan and implement the project)
List below some ideas you may already have! Remember that you can do something you are already engage in
but you must think of how you can improve that talent or skill. CAS is about personal growth.
