Week 2

Last week only me and Michael were present at the seminar. So we discussed a briefly about the structure of our proposal to the charity organisation, Christian Aid.

We decided this event will be a Hallmark event. The content will allows it to be political as Christian Aid are support fair trading and diminishing poverty as part of its policy. We decided it will also be a cultural collaboration as the even will be taking place during the winter season and it ties in with the Christmas celebrations. Christian aid is represented internationally and we decided to invite guests and sponcers who support Christain aid from every country. The actual production of the event is still to be confirmed with the rest of the team members.

During the seminar we went over an event management process which out lines as follows;

• Research
• Design
• Planning
• Co-ordination
• Evaluation

We also discussed the differnt roles that stake holders play and are affected when an event is organised.

We learned from Golblatts 5 W's model as follows how to put our own event in perspective when organising;

• Why
• Who
• When
• Where
• What

From these questions we can fill in the blanks and this allows to be more of an understanding when conceptulising our event.
