In Aarohi (an open learning community) we have conducted online workshops for people outside the community. It was for all ages.

​

Process:

• Decided on the topic ( Graphic T-shirt design)

• Recollected the memories when I attended an online workshop and noted the things which I liked and disliked about them

• Made notes related to the theme (FUN - as it can be understood easily by everyone), ice breaker, the flow of the workshop, interactions with participants, conclusion

• Made presentation keeping in mind readability, colour combination, highlighting certain things

• Designed a T-shirt documenting each step of the process to show the participants  as a sample

• Did a demo for the people in the Aarohi community and got feedback from them

• Made a few changes based on the feedback

• Conducted the workshop successfully with 18 participants and got paid

(recording is not attached as it  only for the people who attended the workshop)

 

Tools & Techniques used:

• Designed the flow with a beginners mindset

• Ice breaker

• Presentation

​

Learnings:

• Maintaining clarity, and simplicity in visuals and communication is important

• My facial expression, and tone of voice has a major role to play in making participants feel  comfortable

• Gained confidence that I can interact well with complete strangers

​

Future improvements:

• Give prompts in between to make participants think even further
