Global Odyssey was an event which was organised in our school premises and the subject team which was leading it was the Business management team. The complete grade of ours was divided into different groups and was asked to creatively sell out various products. We were asked to sell various products and food items made by us. The selling was supposed to be done by keeping in mind the strategies taught and which cater to the group 3 subjects(Humanities). As business management students we had to use marketing strategies like psychological pricings and provision of other offers. Whatever profits we earned we were asked to donate 10% of the share to the renowned NGO – Missing girls. It is a non-profit NGO which uses various upgraded methods to bring changes to the society. It works on both local and global levels and primarily educates individuals and communities in order to end the new era of slavery.
The learning outcomes I have included are –
LO1 – Identify own strength and develop areas of growth
I have an inclination towards photography. Therefore, I decided to take the responsibility of the photobooth. I even like a bit creative stuff, hence being the in-charge of the photobooth I had also helped my group in making the props for the photo booth and the rest of the decoration as well.
LO2 – Demonstrate that challenge have been undertaken and developing new skills in the process.
Being in the entrepreneur group it was expected by everyone others to get some really unprecedented things being sold at our stall. Hence, the most major challenge which our group faced was to speculate what should be the food items and the selling products which might bring the maximum number of customers at our stall.
LO3 – Demonstrate how to initiate and plan a CAS experience.
Finding challenges and difficulties in thinking of the products at start brought all the group members to segregate our thoughts. Dividing the thinking work and delegating tasks to everyone our group got a more clearer picture of our purpose for the event on the main day.
LO 6 – Demonstrate engagement with the issues of global significance.
Whatever profits we earned on the day of the event, around 10% of its share was donated to an NGO namely, Missing girls. This particular NGO helps the major global issue which is human trafficking. A medium of technology and art is used my the NGO to bring a social change.
LO7 – Recognize and consider the ethics of choice and action.
Our stall name was Entrepreneur and as our group had decided to sell food items it was a primary need for us to make sure regarding the food wastage. Food getting wasted is a great concern in the world hence it will be an ethical task if we do not let the food being wasted. Also, 10% of the profit which was donated for Missing Girl NGO was ethically donated without any wrong accounting.
