Showcasing at
the enactus
National
Conference
Written and designed by
Donella Caspersz and Danielle Bejr
for enactus Australia 2013
INTRODUCTION
Showcasing at the enactus National Conference provides students with training in how
to showcase their projects in anticipation of their participation at the enactus Nationals.
The learning objectives of the module are to enable you to:
1.
2.
3.
Identify the nine steps of effective showcase presentation (Task 1);
Meeti the enactus criterion in a enactus showcase presentation (Task 2);
Develop and trial an enactus project showcase (Task 3)
Presenting at the enactus National Conference has been developed to be
implemented as required by each enactus team.
This may be done in one session, or may be broken into a few sessions.
Each task has a stated aim and a description of a process that can be used to fulfil this
aim. I have listed and made available the resources you can use at each step of the
process. Powerpoints and worksheets are linked within the document, and can be
accessed as required.
A link to a survey has been attached both here at the end of the module to gather your
feedback. If all participants can fill out this survey at the completion of the training
module it would be greatly appreciated, as the information captured will be used to
improve the training for the next year.
