Reflective Analysis

There were both good and bad things about my Work Based Learning workshop with the Young Carers.

The positives were 

• meeting the young carers
• made links with the young carers organization by introducing myself to the coordinator
• made possible plans to do voluntary work for the group
• my workshop went well because i got the children involved with colouring in
• the younger children seemed to enjoy my activity
• i was well organized and had everything set up before they arrived
• i had enough resources to run my workshop because I had worked out in advance roughly how many children would be attending and made extra sets of animation frames 

The challenges were

• there was not enough room in the studio for each of our activities
• we were not aware of the amount of young carers that were going to attend 
• i was not in control of anything but my workshop so didn't get the audio i needed

The outcomes were

• i contacted the group to set up another meeting with the organization to get the audio i required
• i went down to the group base with some decent audio equipment and acquired some better audio for my animation
• i learnt that it is important to be flexible and if things don't go to plan on the initial run then have a backup plan
