Course Reps- Event Planning Guide This event guide is designed to help Course Reps plan events. Organising an event or activity is a great way to get to make yourself visible to students, to promote the work of reps and to gather feedback on topics. Here are some things you might want to think about, depending on what kind of activity you’re planning:
AIM OF THE EVENT Before you decide on what you are going to do, think about what the purpose is.
Social event Opportunity for students to meet each other Developing skills/ knowledge Collecting feedback
WHO IS THE EVENT FOR? Will the event be open to all students on your course or do you represent a particular group who you want to target? Think about what those students want out of an event, and any extra things you might need to consider for that group such as time commitments and accessibility.
WHO WILL RUN THE EVENT? Do you need to recruit other reps, students or staff to help, or invite an external speaker? Could you collaborate with a society or volunteering project that’s relevant to your course? Make sure you plan well in advance if you are asking external speakers to be involved and fill in the External Speaker Request Form.
