Helpful tips on planning a Give It A Go session
Decide what activity you could do that represents your group. To help you with this, you should develop your Give it A Go session around one of the five GIAG categories: Get Active, Learn a Skill, Relax and Socialise, Be Creative, and Share Your Culture. For some, such as Sports Clubs this may be straight forward, but for others you may need to be creative.
Be unique – if every club and society are putting on the same activity you could find yourself competing with each other and have less people attend your events.
Organise a GIAG session like you would any event (look on Committee Resource Hub: Travel & Events for guidance on running an event). Make sure that you allocate tasks to your members to ensure that the event runs smoothly on the day.
Think about when you are going to put on the event. If it is a full day activity, it should fall on the weekend to allow most people to attend.
Be inclusive – think about how you can promote and include students from all different groups.
Devise a title, a short description and an itinerary of the event and use the Guide to Webpage & Memberships to create an event listing on your SU webpage.
If you submit your event information to the SU using the Social Media Request Form and/or the Student Groups Media Request Form (found on Committee Resource Hub: Marketing & Website), we can promote your event on the WorcSU social media or create promotional materials for you to use.
Make sure you promote your activity on social media and tag both the WorcSU and VPSA accounts in your posts so we can repost them too!
As always, feel free to get in contact with the SU for support.
Promotion
We have developed some promotional materials to help you such as logos and template posters. Feel free to download the relevant logo below to help distinguish your session when you are advertising it!
You can also ask for posters to be produced by completing the Student Groups Media Request Form.
