Workshop information

Prior to Workshop
About a week prior to the workshop going ahead at your school the JCMA Schools Program Coordinator Janette Witt or another representative from JCMA will contact you either by phone or with a school visit. At this visit all preparations for the workshop will be confirmed as well as ensuring that the venue is suitable and the students and staff are prepared for the workshop. At this visit we will also discuss the needs of the school and its locality and see if there are any issues the school wishes the workshop to focus on and address.
JCMA requires that a short survey be filled out by staff and students participating in the workshop prior to us attending. This staff survey is online under staff surveys, and the students’ surveys can be found in their section. If required they can be downloaded and printed out then given to the presenters at the workshop or posted or faxed to JCMA.
Venue requirements include a video machine and screen visible to all so that students can watch a short video presentation.

Structure of Workshop
8 minutes- short video presentation on current interfaith projects in Australia.
8 minutes- Presentation by Jewish panel member
8 minutes- Presentation by Muslim panel member
8 minutes- Presentation by Christian panel member
5 minutes- break up into groups of approx 15, each group with one staff member to facilitate.
30 minutes – small group discussions
20 minutes – break including food
20 minutes – Questions to panel members.

Total Time - Approx 1 hour 47 minutes

As this workshop needs to fit in with the school timetable and available time within each school it maybe that some schools may need to shorten the length of time for the break, and food may need to be provided at the end, or in some cases there may be some time available for extra discussions and questions amongst the group. Given the nature of the above timing it is preferable that schools can give approximately 2 hours to run this workshop effectively.

The small group discussions
Prior to the workshops going ahead at your school JCMA will be distributing information for staff as to how to conduct these small group discussions. JCMA will provide the aims and topics for the small group discussions, including pertinent questions to ask students, discussion points to raise and any other leading topics.

Post Workshop

Following the workshop both staff and students will be required to fill out the post workshop surveys which are online and can be downloaded. Please let Janette know prior to the workshops if you wish these surveys in paper form so that they can be filled out in class time after the workshop. Staff and student feedback is essential to this project so that a proper evaluation can occur.
