Day-1 of CCCP3 Workshop

Today was the first day of Creative, Communication, and Collaborative Practice 3 Workshop, it recalled me the great memories that I spent with Johny, Roy, Danny and Lloyd seven months ago.

Lecturers from the University of Salford have a meeting with people in charge in TARUC before the workshop, so my friends and I took many photos while waiting for them.

At first, Johny introduces the other three lecturers to us and ask us to form groups for activity. My coursemates and I formed the groups one day before the workshop, but since Johny has a new instruction to form new groups so we followed what he asked to. We divided into four groups by calling the numbers from one to four and I was under Gemma's group. Gemma briefed us what to do about the task, we need to do research, find out the features of North-West of England, which are Manchester and Salford. Soon, we are separated into four or five people in a group and started our research.

My group has come out with a title that is 'How to become a Mancunian' and chosen 'Diversity', 'Speed', 'The Heat', 'Tongue Teaser' and 'H2O' as our key terms, which represent different cultures in China Town, Rolls Royce motor cars, the football competitions, the foods and also the brewery. My group has decided that all of us have to present in front of the lecture hall. We also make sure that we have practice and prepare for the presentation on upcoming Friday.

My group members and I: Thomas, May, me, Vinxy, Alice.

Before the lecturers leave, my friends and I asked Johny some questions about the individual work which what to write in the blog. Johny briefed us what to do and asked us to describe ‘what you did, what went well, what went less well, what would you do difficult?’ in the blog.

I am really happy to meet all the students who take TARUC and UoS dual awards again, we coordinate with others and work together after such long time. At the same time, I also worried about I might not catch up with the progress because my English is weak especially when it comes to conversation. The things we learn and did in the workshop are totally different from what we did in our classes, it is a whole new experience and it is also an interesting way for learning.
