Occupational Therapy Week is an excellent opportunity for us as a community to share our experiences of Occupational Therapy and pledge our support for the profession. So here at YSJ, back by popular demand, we are launching our meme challenge on 4th November: this year’s theme is occupational therapy as a career. We are defining a meme as an image, which can be humorous in nature, that promotes the profession of Occupational Therapy and/or the Occupational Therapy programme here at YSJ.
So how can you be involved?
1. Post a tweet, and/or meme, to share why you became an occupational therapy student/therapist. The most popular tweet will be the tweet that features on #YSJOT Top Tweetlist at the end of the week (ie 11th November at 8am). So if you like someone else’s tweet or meme please like or retweet it.To be eligible you must use the hashtag #YSJOT . We will also be encouraging you to use the official RCOT hashtag #OTWeek2019
So come on ….. get your thinking and creativity hats on . You have a whole week to prepare ….. and good luck!
