The following is only for Autscape 2010 participants, but I'm posting it here for the benefit of those who want to learn more about Autscape:
We are now looking for people who would like to lead a leisure
session (a.k.a. participant-led activity) at Autscape. A leisure
session is not as formal as main presentation, is more interactive,
and it can be about anything of your interest. It doesn't have to
have anything to do with autism, although of course it can.
Several activities can be planned at the same time so you don't have
to cater to the entire audience; any specific interest that some
portion of the audience might enjoy is welcome.
To give you an idea, here are some examples of participant-led
activities we've had in the past:
- Various types of art workshops.
- Singing rounds.
- Physical activities, e.g. we used to have Shintaido workshops (like
Tai Chi, but faster)
- Interlingua, the international language.
- Brainstorming sessions about autistic community, self advocacy, etc.
In short, pretty much anything is welcome. There is no deadline, you
can even start something spontaneously at Autscape itself! However,
planning it ahead would be preferable if possible. If you would like
to lead a leisure session, please fill in the participant-led
activity questionnaire at the Autscape website, following these steps:
1. Go to https://www.autscape.org/questionnaire/
2. Log in with your Autscape username and password
3. Under the "Activity" heading, click "Fill in survey"
4. Fill in the information about your session/activity
5. Click the "Finish" button at the bottom (important!)
That will give us the information we need to plan it properly. Thanks
in advance!
