Project Week Reflection

The process of planning out the entirety of the project week was an interesting and important activity that truly aided me in planning and budgeting which are necessary life skills. Even though project week ultimately got cancelled it gave me the opportunity to experience what it’s like to tackle challenges and bumps along the road as well as make compromises with my team to come to the best solution to these issues. Firstly, the major challenge was deciding the group members, there was consistency for a few members within the group, however, there was a persistent conflict between some of the members and thus, having a solidified group by the deadline was proving to be continually difficult. However, over time we were able to solve the conflict between the group members and come to a consensus on who will leave and stay in the group whilst avoiding grudges and such and therefore, I along with my other team members were able to problem solve and deal with social quarrels in order to progress in the planning process of project week. Once this issue was solved, another arose. Our plan for project week revolved around commuting to the Biosphere centre in the Bali Barat national park and learning about wildlife as well as indulging in activities as well. However, through discussions with this group, there were not allowing us to stay anywhere us but inside the complex and made it mandatory to be there 24/7 which impeded our plan of exploring and learning about Bali. Moreover, certain activities that were major reasons for us choosing this location were cancelled. Although we communicated our thoughts with the organisation we were unable to come to a consensus and ultimately project week got cancelled. Although project week did eventually get cancelled we learnt many useful skills that came along with its planning process that we wouldn’t have been able to learn anyways such as planning flights, contacting and negotiating with organizations, budgeting and more which are all valuable life skills to possess, therefore, it was still extremely useful at the end of the day
