Overview of Learning Activities In this unit, students work on event organising and on developing their project. Most projects will involve holding some kind of an event, so the “Organising events” activity gets students thinking about the many things they need to take into account when organising an event. The “Who’s doing what when?” helps students finalise planning for project delivery, and work out timelines for their project, and allocate tasks. Students spend the remainder of the session working on their project.
