Assessment instruction
In part 1, you need to give a brief introduction of the chosen topic. This is where you also need to use the Harvard style of referencing.
Part 2 aims at creating a brief outline for a workshop based on one of the topics covered in this subject. There are many examples on youtube, Emotional Intelligence Workshop by EmpoweredLifeSessions
Or
SWP - PWC Workshop on Emotional Intelligence by Speranta Cristache by benefontis
This should be an interactive workshop which is not that different from the group activities we have in class. It could include either a group reflection or any other group engaging activity which allows the future participants to apply one of the topics discussed in this Subject to their professional situations. Alternatively, it could aim at developing a certain skill (for example, emotional intelligence or how to work harmoniously in a diverse cultural environment, etc)
Part 3 focuses on desired outcomes of the activity and can be written in point form. It asks you to tell us what you would like to accomplish in the workplace after the Workshop was taken. How do you hope the behaviour of the staff would change? For example, would it create a greater understanding of diversity or the increased ability to solve small conflicts at a workplace or an ability to reflect on our own prejudices, etc?
As it is a practice-oriented assessment, you need to use only 3 academic sources related to your topic of choice for Part 1 9which involves also a brief reference list). Other parts do not require referencing unless you specifically borrow someone else's idea.
