I feel that the workshop at Craigour Park Primary withe the Girls Get Active club was a success! In the beginning I was very nervous, mainly because I was teaching dance activities to a group who were not all interested in dance. Although everything went well if I was to do it again I think I would practice m delivery of the workshop so that I could be more confident in myself when talking to the girls and explaining exercises. In conclusion I feel that my presentation of the delivery went well and all the girls had fun throughout the workshop.

I have thoroughly enjoyed my time creating dance games and activities for Youth Scotland. By attending the programme training days, specifically the Inspire 25 award training, I was able to see what Youth Scotland offers and how they link everyday leadership skills into fun activities. I found that some of the activities that Youth Scotland already used could be adapted into dance based activities. For example the budgeting an event activity and designing a product could be adapted to a dance event and dance product. I enjoyed being able to take more complicated aspects of dance, such as choreography, and being able to break this down into a fun game for everyone to enjoy.

Following the creative process, I had a meeting with Stuart where I pitched the activities. He gave me feedback on each one and asked me questions on how I would teach and deliver these. By answering these questions I felt I was able to consolidate my knowledge of teaching. I was also able to learn more about simplifying and making the activities more complex if they needed to be. Once we had spoken about each activity Stuart explained where I would be delivering a workshop using the work I had created. He assisted me in making a workshop plan and we discussed which resources we would take with us. Overall I have enjoyed creating dance games and activities for Youth Scotland. I have learned how to bring dance into common games and how to create dance activities from scratch. With the help of Stuarts expertise and advice I have learned how to be able to manipulate the activities and workshop as a whole to suit the group and their needs on the day.

In the beginning of November I met with Michele Meehan at the Youth Scotland headquarters. We discussed what Youth Scotland was and how I could help in the work place. She mentioned that dance is not very common within their training programmes and was keen to incorporate it. She had previously mentioned there had been programmes which were run in the past which encouraged young people to get dancing however it only ran for three years.

After hearing that dance was not part of Youth Scotland I pitched to help create dance activities and games which could be put into current programmes they have running. This would mean that they could outreach these programmes into more dance based youth groups across Scotland. It was agreed that I would create these activities and incorporate them into the Dynamic Youth Awards which are aimed to help young people find leadership skills in everyday life. I had to ensure that I took on board the leadership skill aspect while creating these activities as it was crucial that I linked these to the aims and task of their training programme.

In conclusion I feel that the training courses I have taken will benefit my practice in the future greatly. After completing the emergency first aid training and the child protection and safeguarding training days I feel comfortable in being able to help children and young adults whether it is in the case of an emergency or an ongoing issue. The child protection and safeguarding training linked well with the GIRFEC training I had received. The GIRFEC approach training has helped me to be more open minded of each child or young adult’s wellbeing. This approach also made me realise how I can work as a teacher or workshop facilitator to help build the young person’s well-being as well as help them learn. I learned you can be seen as a teacher but also someone who they can go to if they are in need of help.

The training that benefited me the most during my placement was the Intro to Hi 5 and Dynamic Youth Awards and the iLead Inspire training days as it helped me to see how Youth Scotland run their programmes and what guidelines they use to keep control of the course. By seeing the activities put into practice I was able to see how Stuart organised each activity, how he developed it and how he interacted with each individual. It had given me the knowledge I needed to create activities and allowed me to create a guideline of how a workshop session could be ran. This will help me I the future if I run dance based workshops as I now know how to create a guideline of a workshop and how it would run. I am also more confident in myself to be able to create content for a dance based workshop.
