What is a workshop? ๐ ๏ธ
A workshop is an activity based substantially on active participation, practice, discussion or collaborative learning. Participants may make something, practise a skill, develop ideas or work together on a particular topic. Workshops differ from lectures or seminars mainly in the degree of practical or participatory involvement, although formats can overlap.
Volunteering with workshops
Volunteers may prepare materials and spaces, support facilitators, help participants, contribute a particular skill or run workshops themselves when appropriately experienced. In other projects, volunteers participate in workshops as part of the cultural or educational exchange.
If workshops are important to you, check whether they are included in the exchange, optional, offered only on particular dates or subject to an additional fee. Also clarify whether you are expected to participate, assist or facilitate.
