Description
The event training is geared towards all who are involved in organising events for university students, including event planners for student unions or associations and other interested student actives. The training is divided into four thematic parts, which may be used individually or together.
Event concept workshop
In this training, the participants reflect on what makes an event concept good and brainstorm completely new events together.
The participants develop new event concepts by brainstorming together. The training also includes discussion on why it might sometimes be difficult to get people to attend alcohol-free events.
Duration: approximately 1.5 h
Event safety training
The event safety training explores the safety of student events from the viewpoints of physical and social safety. Physical safety means material factors that impact the safety of an event, such as the venue, tools and prevention of physical accidents. Social safety means factors that make the attendee feel safe at the event, such as rules, prevention of harassment and bullying and the principles of a safe space.
Duration: approximately 1.5 h
Event communications training
If you throw a party and nobody hears about it, does it exist? What should you take into account when advertising your event to your target audience and what makes communications around the event a team effort all organisers should participate in?
The training discusses communications as an essential part of event planning: what does good event communication entail, how can communication make it easier for people to attend the event and what should you take into account in your communication plan.
Duration: approximately 1.5 h
Accessibility in event organising
Student events should be accessible for all students. For this reason, the organiser should consider the accessibility of their event for their target group, university students.
This training discusses inclusivity and accessibility as factors that make it possible for people to attend the event. The training provides ideas on how to take different participants and their needs and wishes into account when organising events for the whole community. The main lesson of the training is to note what an important role accessible student culture plays in the well-being of students.
