[Teen/VVP] Running the Workshop
This post is kind of late since this is the post referring to what happened last Thursday when Jack and I did our workshop with the Machinima group!
I think it was a good workshop overall because I got the experience of what a real audience/crowd of people may act like. Although I have seen people get training in my school, I think we all got a little over-board with making it very difficult for the person up there presenting the workshop. So it was kind of nice to just run a normal workshop, where...everyone was corporative and typical. Although I can't say that we didn't meet any challenges. First, Manpreet asked a question about o.o cockroaches x.x~ and why they were significant to the environment, that was an interesting question actually. Since Jack and I didn’t know the answer we opened up the question to everyone else, and had a slightly weird but short conversation on it, so we all decided to go home and look into it. Technically I haven't looked into it, not because I'm not curious, it's more like I'm afraid to see some pictures of cockroaches while I'm doing research O-o~.
Anyway, one situation I did not know how to manage was when we were going through sustainability indicators and the economic indicator group said that chopping down trees was what was necessary to sustain the economy. I don't think we really took care of that situation well, and the only thing I could come up with was asking everyone else if they would like to add anything to the group’s list of indicators. But besides that, I think the workshop did not go too horribly...especially since that was our first time doing it ^.^~! Everyone at Machinima was great and we got some really good feedback from everyone~!
