Since a very long time I wanted to do something from which I can help in social services in any way ,so I saw it as a perfect opportunity for me in which I can help in recycling old and used paper. It was a wonderful experience for me to participate in making papers.
LOs:
LO1
Identify own strengths and develop areas for growth
At starting I hesitated working in a group but after some time I improved myself and now I do not hesitate working in group. I also helped in spreading social awareness about recycling paper as much as possible. First I was not very much into social work but after participating in crumple I will participate more I such social works.
LO2
Demonstrate that challenges have been undertaken, developing new skills in the process.
In this I had a very big challenge as I didn’t knew how to make recycled paper out of crumple as well as earlier I was not comfortable in performing group activities. But after that day I developed a new skill into me and learned how to make paper out of crumple as well as to work in a group .
LO5
Demonstrate the skills and recognize the benefits of working collaboratively
Generally, I do not prefer working in group because being an introvert ,it is hard for me to work with others.Considering this, it was difficult for me to work with others during this experience.However, working collaboratively did make things easier as the workload was divided. As one would make crumple and the other will bring it I will spread it on a sheet for it to dry.Likewise,I understood the benefits of working together and understood the importance of teamwork.
LO7
Recognise and consider the ethics of choices and actions
As It is a social issue and everybody should perform it and help nature to cherish again .We should give nature the same amount we take from them. this was my ethics of choice to give a hand in social work of recycling paper.
Conclusion
So overall It was a very good experience in participating in crumple. I learnt how can I contribute in making a better world and learnt how to communicate in a group. I performed it to spread a social awareness amongst people and my goal was to encourage them to contribute as much as they can in any social work.
