I got the chance to participate in the CAS programme as an IB Diploma programme participant. One of my favourite memories is taking part in the Creative Mela, where I ran a booth where I showed children how to make bags out of used garments. I was able to gain a variety of abilities and information from this event that are in line with CAS Learning Outcomes (LO) 1, 2, 4, and 5.<\/p>\n

LO1: Identify own strengths and develop areas for growth:<\/p>\n

One of the most important lessons I took away from my time at the Creative Mela was how to recognise my own areas of strength and development. I had some sewing and crafts skills before the event, but I had never shown someone else how to construct a bag. I was able to hone my teaching techniques and discover how to concisely communicate the steps to children of all ages through trial and error. I was able to identify my own patience and flexibility capabilities as well as places for improvement in my communication and teaching abilities thanks to this experience.<\/p>\n

LO2: Demonstrate that challenges have been undertaken, developing new skills in the process<\/p>\n

It was undoubtedly difficult for me to participate in the Creative Mela, but I also had the chance to learn new abilities. I had to set up my stall, arrange the materials, market my activity to draw participation, and teach the children how to make bags. I learned new sewing and crafts techniques, as well as event organising and marketing, through this experience. Overcoming these obstacles and learning new abilities was a fulfilling experience that aided in my personal development.<\/p>\n

LO4: Show commitment to and perseverance in CAS experiences<\/p>\n

The value of dedication and persistence was among the most crucial lessons I took away from my time at the Creative Mela. I dedicated a lot of effort to preparing my materials and honing my teaching techniques in the weeks before the event. On the day of the event, I was required to spend a number of hours at my booth teaching and socialising with the children that stopped by. By this experience, I discovered how to maintain commitment to my objective in the face of unforeseen difficulties or impediments.<\/p>\n

LO5: Demonstrate the skills and recognize the benefits of working collaboratively<\/p>\n

Last but not least, the Creative Mela gave me a great chance to hone my teamwork abilities. Along with parents and other volunteers who assisted in the event’s planning, I got the opportunity to collaborate with other students who were taking part in it as well. I gained valuable interpersonal skills from this experience, including how to share ideas with others and collaborate to accomplish a common objective. I was also aware of the advantages of teamwork, such as the capacity to learn from others, take advantage of their abilities, and forge enduring connections.<\/p>\n

In conclusion, the Creative Mela experience was an important element of my CAS programme since it helped me gain a variety of abilities and information that are in line with CAS Learning Objectives 1, 2, 4, and 5. I was able to pinpoint my own advantages and room for improvement, learn new things, show dedication and endurance, and work cooperatively with others as a result of this experience. I’m eager to carry on with my CAS journey and expand on the abilities and knowledge I acquired through this one.<\/p>\n\n\n
