Staying sane, safe and well in the events industry

Abstract

This case is designed for 20–25 students at second- or third-year undergraduate level, but could equally be given to postgraduate students. It requires them to be divided into five groups. For larger groups, several teams can do the same well-being activity, then compare and discuss their experiences. The optional assessment task can be used as either a group or an individual assessment. Ideally, this case should be taught on a busy and stressful day for students, for example, if they have already had two or three other lectures and seminars on the same day, have an assignment due, or as part of an all-day class or workshop. The case uses well-being activities, reflexive class discussion and group work as teaching methods.
