I was able to identify my own strengths and develop areas for growth. One of my strengths was coming up with creative decoration ideas for the event space. This allowed me to utilize my creativity and contribute to creating an engaging and visually appealing environment for the literary performances. Additionally, being a part of the decor team also helped me to develop my crisis management skills.

process of being part of the decor team. One of the challenges I faced was in the area of marketing and increasing sales at the food stalls. This required me to use my critical thinking skills to come up with effective marketing techniques. Through trial and error, I was able to develop strategies that helped to boost sales and generate revenue for the event. In addition, I also had to manage unexpected challenges that arose during the event, which helped me to develop my crisis management skills.

LO5 Demonstrate the skills and recognize the benefits of working collaboratively

I demonstrated the skills and recognized the benefits of working collaboratively. Working in a group allowed us to generate more creative and diverse ideas for decorating the event space, as we were able to bounce ideas off each other and build upon each other’s suggestions. Collaboration also allowed us to pool our resources and skills, which helped us to achieve a higher level of efficiency and effectiveness. One other key skill that is needed for a better group is good communication. Clear and effective communication is essential for ensuring that everyone is on the same page, and that everyone’s ideas and contributions are heard and considered. It is also important for coordinating and delegating tasks, and for resolving any conflicts or issues that may arise.

LO-6 Demonstrate engagement with issues of global significance

I demonstrated engagement with issues of global significance by promoting sustainability through the use of already made resources and decorations. One of the goals of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) is to ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns. We took this goal and applied it to our event by using decorations and materials that have been previously used or repurposed, rather than creating new ones. This reduced our environmental impact and also helped us to save resources and money. We also used this opportunity to raise awareness among the attendees about the importance of sustainability and the impact of our consumption choices on the environment. This helped to contribute to a more sustainable future, not just for our event but also for the community and the world as a whole.

I was able to contribute to creating an engaging and visually appealing environment for the literary performances, and also helped to promote sustainability by using already made resources and decorations. Additionally, I was able to raise awareness about the importance of sustainable consumption and production patterns among the attendees. It was a valuable learning experience that allowed me to make a positive impact on my community, and also contribute to a more sustainable future.
