Teaching at FiiNGO is open to all members. You can lead a session based on a skill or process you enjoy and feel confident sharing. Use the steps below to plan, submit, and run your workshop successfully.
Step 1: Choose Your Skill
Think about something you enjoy making or doing. This could be a technique, tool, material, or process you are comfortable explaining to others. Workshops can be designed for beginners, intermediate learners, or for those exploring new ideas.
Step 2: Shape Your Idea
Decide what participants will learn and how long the session should last. Your workshop can take different forms:
- One-time classes
- Short demonstrations
- Multi-session series
- Informal skill shares
Consider how to make the session engaging and informative for attendees.
Step 3: Submit a Proposal
Submit your workshop proposal to FiiNGO staff with the following details:
- Topic and brief description
- Skill level (beginner, intermediate, or all levels)
- Tools and equipment needed
- Preferred timing or schedule
- Cost of materials and instructor time
Staff can help refine your idea to ensure it is practical and successful.
Step 4: Review and Safety Check
Proposals are reviewed to make sure:
- Tools and equipment will be used safely
- The space is appropriate for the planned activities
- Any necessary training or support is available
This step ensures you have the guidance needed to run your workshop confidently.
Step 5: Schedule and Promote
Once approved, FiiNGO staff will help schedule your workshop and promote it to the community. First-time instructors receive additional support to make their first session run smoothly.
Step 6: Teach and Share
Lead your workshop, share your knowledge, and help participants learn through discussion and hands-on practice. Teaching at FiiNGO is interactive and collaborative, allowing both you and the participants to grow.
Step 7: Learn Together
Every workshop adds value to the community. Feedback from participants and staff is encouraged, and instructors are welcome to continue teaching or develop new workshops based on their experiences.
