A How-to Guide: Planning And Managing A Workshop by eventiso: 12:15pm On Apr 17, 2013
There are some people who learn and teach better by demonstration and interaction, rather than by the traditional classroom method. Organizing a workshop is one of the best and easiest method of enlightening and educating a group people about an idea, product, a particular field, technique or skill. A workshop usually consist of a small number of individuals with an opportunity to interact and share ideas, as well as demonstrate and practicalize whatever is learnt.

Organizing a workshop is quite easy if you have a phase by phase plan set up and you pay attention to the important details.

These details have been divided into phases:

Define your goals.
Why do you want to have this workshop? Do you want to share ideas and techniques of painting? Do want to discuss the way forward in the Nigerian digital industry?
Having a goal in mind helps you determine the suitability of every other item you need to address.
Who do you want to invite?A workshop works best when the number of participants are plenty enough to allow diversity but small enough to encourage active participation. Anywhere between 10-50 people with a stake or an interest in the field you intend to focus on will do.

Pick The Right Venue.
This depends mainly on your intended goal, number of participants and your budget. If there is a venue that resonates with your goal or theme or topic, you could try to book it down early. For example, you could hold a workshop with a focus on historical artifacts in a museum.
You also want to consider those coming to participate. What do they appreciate?
The duration of your event should also be considered as well as what facilities the venue would provide. How hygenic are their restrooms?
Is it within your budget? It is always advisable to book a venue in advance to avoid a rush.
Pick a Date and Publicize Early Enough.Even if the group of people are within your immediate enviroment, it is advisable and respectful to announce the date early enough. This will give participants enough time to plan and prepare for the workshop. It is advisable to engage them before the main event. You can do this on social media. You can also open a website for the workshop event. Your attendees can register on this site and leave their data. It can also help you understand what areas to focus on during the workshop.
