The Group 4 project is a compulsory part of the IB diploma where the students work in multi-disciplinary groups to create a presentation on a specific topic.It was really a good opportunity to understand how everything is executed from planning to the event. That’s why I took this opportunity to collaborate with other people , and execute this event.
Through this, I catered to the following LOs:
LO1
Identify own strengths and develop areas for growth
Throughout the experience, I was able to discover the areas where I excel and those where I need to improve.My strength is that I am able to amalgamate with people easily which helps me to work efficiently and also helps me to learn new things from them.On the other hand my weakness is that i was not able to manage and assign tasks to the volunteers effectively, it is because this was my first time organising any event.It is critical to understand your own strengths and shortcomings in order to identify where you stand. It feels amazing to have identified my skills and limitations, and I intend to focus on improving and eliminating my weaknesses.
LO2
Demonstrate that challenges have been undertaken, developing new skills in the process
The most challenging part of this activity was that I was unable to manage and assign tasks to the volunteers effectively, it is because this was my first time organising any event.I overcome this challenge with the support of my friends on the organising committee. It was a fantastic feeling because this experience was one of a kind. Because I enjoy taking on new challenges, it is important for me to give my all. Working collaboratively is a skill that everyone should have, thus the skills I learnt during this experience will be quite useful in the future.
LO3
Demonstrate how to initiate and plan a CAS experience
This experience took a lot of mental strength and coordination skill because I had to come down unique decorating ideas as well as communicate with my colleagues to complete work efficiently. I had no idea how to handle the position in the organising committee before organising this activity, but I learnt via experience and improved on my weaknesses. Planning this type of event is usually a difficult task, but I managed it. On the day of the group 4 event, I only hoped that everything went well for us. It is usually a good idea to plan any event before starting it since it allows us to identify any problems that may arise.
LO4
Show commitment to and perseverance in CAS experiences
It was challenging for me because I had never organised a such event before. It was really stressful for me at first, but as I began to confer with other members of the organising committee, it became easier for me. This project needed a lot of perseverance and commitment because I had to learn a lot about event planning.
LO5
Demonstrate the skills and recognise the benefits of working collaboratively
Working collaboratively was always an easy task for me because I can see my best when I am working with some one as they help me to spot my weaknesses and the areas where I am good at.
