Health Education Development/Facilitate an activity

Your team is to facilitate an activity with a group

The aim of this assignment is to develop your skills in working with a team to plan and facilitate a group activity, explain that activity using a program logic narrative, conduct a self analysis of your team and your performance, and participate in and assess other team's activities.

Your team will facilitate 3 activities over the course of the subject, and produce a plan and an explanation and evaluation for each.

You will be assessed based on a self-evaluation, a team and class evaluation, a facilitator evaluation and your participation in other team's activities.
