Format: more information

The assignment consists of jointly organizing a show case event from A to Z.

The mentoring consists of weekly contact moments with the tutor in the initial phase of the project (dreams, plans). These are with the full group as well as in smaller teams. When the realization phase of the project starts, the teams also work together outside the contact moments in order to realize the project: acquiring sponsors, visiting the location, meeting with the bank, meeting with printers and other producers, ... The contact moments serve on the one hand as a discussion with the tutor about the state of affairs and collective decision making, on the other hand as a moment to work together with your team in the preparation of the project (work session). When the project itself starts/opens/places all students, regardless of their task, are present and help where necessary. At the end of the project there is a collective evaluation moment.

The tasks are divided among 3 teams (production - business - communication) each led by a team lead. For the division of roles, one-on-one interviews take place, the tutor decides who gets which task.
