Critical & Creative Thinking Festival (Craft Workshop) | NURUL FAZIAH BINTI OTHMAN's Profile

Before the festival, I was assigned to make preparations for the program by providing an example of a handmade frame as a reference to the school's students. A collaboration from group members has made the preparation become easier and clear from the aspects of preparation of the product to use and tentative programme for craft workshop. We have divided work well in ensuring the workshop goes smoothly. Alhamdulillah, we can do our job well before the program starts. In the meantime, during my program, I was assigned to become a trainer to school students in making a handmade frame from recyclable items which is newspapers. Throughout the craft workshop, I found many students interested in making this craft including the school teacher who is together involved in making the handmade frame. Among the obstacles we have faced throughout the program are some of the items we have provided suddenly disappear. However, we can overcome the problem by using the items we have provided as a backup tool for the program.

Overall, I am very grateful and happy when I and my classmates successfully run the 2CT'18 Festival. I have managed the craft workshop with school student and I am very satisfied with the cooperation given by my group members who together involved in craft sessions and friends involved in the festival. I want to thank Dr. Azlineer for giving us an opportunity and trust, a 3 SHAY student to run the festival with other students from a different course. Of course, this experience will not be forgotten and can be applied to the program in the future. Throughout the program, I learned a variety of skills such as communication skills where I can improve my communication skills with school student in craft sessions through my instructions and guides in making handmade picture frames for them. Besides, I am very happy that I am able to share my skills with them which is my origami skills. From this program, I can share my knowledge and indirectly enhance my talents in origami. Despite the various obstacles and challenges, we face before and after the program, we are able to overcome these problems together successfully. Furthermore, there are some suggestions that may help us in implementing the program in the future and maybe a guide to other programs in the future. Among the suggestion is involvement from outsiders such as school children and university students themselves should be increased so that programs will be more interesting. Program managers and other committee members should also take the initiative to increase participants and visitors in the program by increasing publicity, advertising, and other improvements. The systematic planning and understanding of the group are also very important in making the program successful. Finally, I hope the program can be continued in the future so that other students can have the experience to handle a program.
