There was a bit of miscommunication between me and Wai Kit because he ended up asking for only an overall rating for the whole day, and he allowed non-integers values!
Qualitative feedback for the best aspect of the workshop:
The best part is the songs, games. Because, other than that it helps us GLs, to know each other, it gives GLs prior knowledge about some of the songs/games; hence GLs can guide/ lead the group members if they’re confused. The workshop taught me how to interact, approach, and communicate with others. Thus, I can bond easily with my group members. It also taught me more about myself and hence I know about myself and can apply it to be friendly with others.
Course allows us to get to know each other well. Workshop is short and not too draggy and overwhelming. Leaders were supportive and friendly. I learnt to be more open and brave to interact with group mates because even if they don’t talk to you much, it doesn’t mean that they dislike you or think you’re silly.
Games (planning and playing the game together as it creates bonding among group leaders and with the seniors).
Personality test, which develops better understanding in interaction with people.
I like the games and the singing. And the personality test is quite useful too.
The game thinking part. This session is quite useful because it forces me to be impromptu. I learnt a lot from this session like how a game should work and how a game can create bonding between all the members.
The songs and games parts. It is the part that makes me feel fun and peace. (Songs give peace when we sing them and games create a fun situation as well as create interaction among participants.)
Songs and games.
Bonding between GLs in advance is great. It helps in providing communication between groups also.
Food Hunt Dry Run. I think contribute a lot to GLs bonding. And the training on the following day reinforces it perfectly, and easier for us to express our opinion.
I do make use of what I learn from brain colours. I have a better understanding on my group members’ personalities.
I think singing songs together and learning the simple action is quite useful in creating the bonding.
Suggestions for improvements
More discussion among GLs (helps to know each other and to communicate with others)
More games/ songs (prior knowledge for GLs)
Maybe more games
Learn more songs
If possible, we can have the training at somewhere in the west of Singapore
There should be more game practices so that GLs can apply them in their groups.
Maybe next GL training can be at the same place for the camp. It will benefit the GLs by knowing the place better.
Game session part should add longer so that every group leader can be involved as a game master because besides being a good group leader, we should also know how to be a good game master. Also maybe can change the venue to somewhere else because travelling so far will cause a lot of time and maybe it can be saved to extend longer timing for the workshop.
During the workshop, there should be more songs taught and focus on how to develop interaction between one group with another group. In addition to the training on how to build interaction among group members in the same GL. So, the missing part is the training on how to build interaction between one group with another group. Overall, the workshop is good.
Sometimes I know I have to use other method to communicate with them, but I don’t know how to do it. So maybe next time can teach us how you normally overcome the problem if some of your members are quiet.
Maybe seniors may share their techniques in making the atmosphere more lively.
