Practical skills (Online workshop)

IMPORTANT:
During the Practical Skills module, you will be given the opportunity to teach a practical skill to one of the other participants. In return, you will also have the opportunity to learn a practical skill.

You may choose to teach any practical skill that you wish. It might for example be a skill used in your job or as part of a hobby or other interest or a Scouting skill.

When deciding what skill to teach you should consider the following issues:
– You will have 15 minutes to teach your practical skill, with 10 minutes in which to prepare.

• You will be teaching your skills remotely, so consider what materials other participants may have access to in their homes. – You will be teaching your skill to upto three other other participants. – You need to do a safety briefing to the other participant based on the risks identified in your risk assessment for the activity. – You need to make sure that the activity has approval from trainers in a similar way that you need approval for any activity you do with young people needs approval from your Lead Volunteer. – Your teaching methods should give the ‘learner’ the opportunity to have a go. – You will need to bring with you to the module, any equipment, materials or other resources you require including the risk assessment, both for your demonstration and for your learner.
