Overview
The practicals provide learners with hands-on experience in facilitating arts and culture projects. Learners will practice facilitation techniques, manage group dynamics, and evaluate facilitation processes in simulated and real-world scenarios.
Practical Activities
- Facilitation Simulation: Stakeholder Workshop — Learners facilitate a mock stakeholder workshop for a community arts project, applying participatory methods and managing group interactions. (3h)
- Facilitation Plan Development and Peer Review — Learners develop a facilitation plan for a real or hypothetical arts project and receive peer feedback to refine their approach. (3h)
- Evaluation and Reporting Exercise — Learners evaluate a recorded facilitation session and compile a professional facilitation report with recommendations. (3h)
Summatives
Each delegate is assessed continuously throughout the course via daily exercises, scored practical assignments, and a final summative test at the end.
Practical Assignments — 30%
Practical assignments are observed and scored against a rubric during the practical sessions. Each delegate's practical mark is averaged into a single 100% score and contributes 30% to the final total.
Daily Exercises — 20%
Every training day ends with a multiple-choice exercise scored out of 100%. The scores from each daily exercise are averaged across the duration of the course to produce a Daily Average mark, which contributes 20% to the final total.
Final Test — 50%
On the last day a final summative test is written. It is a multiple-choice paper with multiple-answer questions: each question may have more than one correct option, and a single wrong selection on a question marks the entire question wrong — no partial credit. The final test is scored out of 100% and contributes 50% to the overall mark.
Final Total
| Component | Out of | Weight |
|---|---|---|
| Practical Assignments (rubric-scored) | 100% | 30% |
| Daily Average (multiple choice) | 100% | 20% |
| Final Test (multi-answer multiple choice) | 100% | 50% |
| Final Total | — | 100% |
