2. Workshop Format and Structure

Objective: Ensure each workshop is structured for maximum participant engagement and learning outcomes.

• Session Length:
  • Workshops should be 90 minutes to 2 hours long. This will allow enough time for both instructional content and interactive activities.
  • Ensure there is a balance between presentation time (about 40-60 minutes) and interactive activities (about 30-60 minutes).
• Interactive Elements:
  • Case Studies & Role-Playing: Use real-world case studies where participants can analyze scenarios and make decisions based on the learnings. In contract negotiation workshops, participants can role-play as the negotiator or partner to practice key negotiation skills.
  • Group Discussions: Divide participants into small groups to discuss particular challenges or questions. This peer-to-peer learning can be incredibly valuable for sharing insights and experiences.
  • Hands-On Tools: Provide access to interactive tools or demos (e.g., the SayPro Ads platform, royalty tracking dashboards, contract templates) for participants to explore directly during the session.
• Expert Facilitators:
  • Session Leaders: Each workshop should have an expert facilitator who is well-versed in the subject matter (e.g., a legal expert for contract negotiation or a data analyst for optimizing ad campaigns). These experts should lead discussions, answer questions, and guide activities.
  • Guest Speakers: Consider inviting guest speakers who are recognized professionals in the field. Their insights and experiences can provide added value and credibility to the session.

3. Participant Engagement Strategies

Objective: Keep participants engaged, ensure learning retention, and encourage active participation.

• Interactive Tools:
  • Use live polls to ask questions and gather opinions at the beginning of the session or throughout. For instance, a poll asking, “What’s your biggest challenge in contract negotiations?” will help tailor the session to the group’s needs.
  • Live Q&A: Throughout the session, allocate time for Q&A to allow participants to ask questions directly to facilitators, ensuring any personal concerns or challenges are addressed.
  • Breakout Groups: For larger workshops, consider using virtual or in-person breakout groups where small teams can discuss specific challenges or role-play scenarios. Later, reconvene to share findings or solutions with the whole group.
• Gamification (Optional):
  • For certain workshops, incorporate gamification techniques to make the learning experience more engaging. For example, in a workshop on ad campaign optimization, participants could earn points for identifying the best strategies or achieving certain campaign results.
  • Leaderboards: Track participants’ contributions and successes in activities, giving them recognition for active involvement.

4. Logistics and Preparation

Objective: Ensure that the workshops run smoothly, both from a technical and organizational perspective.

• Room Setup (Virtual or In-Person):
  • Virtual Setup: If the event is virtual, ensure the platform supports features like breakout rooms, screen sharing, and chat functionality. Tools like Zoom, Microsoft Teams, or specialized event platforms can accommodate these features.
  • In-Person Setup: If hosting in-person, ensure the room is equipped with necessary technology (e.g., microphones, projectors) and that participants can comfortably collaborate in small groups.
  • Materials & Resources: Provide handouts, worksheets, templates, or any other resources ahead of time, either digitally or physically, to help participants get the most out of the session.
• Pre-Workshop Communication:
  • Reminders: Send out a reminder email to participants with session details, objectives, and any preparatory materials they may need to review beforehand (e.g., reading material, pre-event surveys, or relevant case studies).
  • Registration Confirmation: Include a brief agenda and any software or platform links for virtual attendees.

5. Post-Workshop Follow-Up

Objective: Ensure continued engagement after the workshop and provide participants with additional resources to apply what they’ve learned.

• Resource Sharing:
  • Share session slides, additional reading materials, templates, and links to further resources that can help attendees put the concepts into practice.
  • Provide participants with access to workshop recordings so they can revisit the material at any time.
• Feedback Collection:
  • After each workshop, send out a brief feedback survey to gather insights on what worked well and areas for improvement. Ask for suggestions on future workshop topics.
  • Example questions: “What did you find most valuable?”, “What topics would you like to explore in future workshops?”
• Community Engagement:
  • Create a space for participants to continue the discussion (e.g., a private forum or Slack channel) where they can share experiences, ask further questions, or collaborate on projects.
  • Encourage them to connect with each other and with the facilitators for ongoing mentorship or collaboration.

6. Outcome Measurement

Objective: Ensure workshops achieve desired outcomes, both for individual participants and the overall event.

• Success Metrics:
  • Track participant engagement (e.g., how many attendees actively participated, how many questions were asked, and how many used interactive tools).
  • Measure learning outcomes by using pre- and post-session quizzes or surveys to assess participants’ understanding of the topic before and after the workshop.
  • Evaluate the impact on participants’ ability to apply the knowledge by offering a follow-up survey or interview after the event to learn if they’ve successfully implemented what they learned.

Conclusion

Workshops within the SCSPR-87 event will provide valuable, hands-on experiences where participants can learn practical skills related to contract negotiation, ad campaign optimization, and maximizing royalties. By designing each workshop with clear objectives, interactive elements, and expert facilitators, SayPro can create an environment that encourages collaboration, boosts participant engagement, and ensures participants leave with actionable insights that benefit their business success.
