TOPIC: INTERACTIVE SESSIONS
INTRODUCTION
Interactive sessions are
a way for students to engage with energy professionals and get hands-on
experience or pitch in their own innovative ideas, work in teams to solve
critical problems and learn new ways of communication.
Conducting an interactive session is
very important to create an effective rapport between the trainer and the
audience. Interactive sessions help to create a bridge of communication and
confidence between the participants and the trainer. An interactive session
helps in a lot of other ways to make the training more effective. Interactive
session helps to gain productive information on the interests of the audience
and their activities to create effective training modules as per their needs.
Content-
Being well versed with the content is very essential for mastering the interactive sessions. Preparing an appropriate module with effective content that meets the needs of the audiences is very essential for creating a great impact. The content must be simple and clear and should give the sense of interaction from the start it should be more from the participants end than description from the trainers.

Seminar, Debate and Symposia etc are
the interactive events are discussed below.
SEMINAR
A seminar may be defined as a gathering of people for
the purpose of discussing a stated topic. Such gatherings are usually
interactive sessions where the participants engage in discussions about the
delineated topic. The sessions are usually headed or led by one or two
presenters who serve to steer the discussion along the desired path.
PURPOSE OF A SEMINAR
A seminar may have several purposes or just one
purpose. For instance, a seminar may be for the purpose of education, such as a
lecture, where the participants engage in the discussion of an academic subject
for the aim of gaining a better insight into the subject. Other forms of
educational seminars might be held to impart some skills or knowledge to the
participants. Examples of such seminars include personal finance, web marketing,
real estate, investing or other types of seminars where the participants gain
knowledge or tips about the topic of discussion.
Of course, a seminar can be motivational, in which
case the purpose is usually to inspire the attendees to become better people,
or to work towards implementing the skills they might have learned from the
seminar. For instance, a business seminar with a financial theme could be for
the purpose of teaching small business owners how to pitch to investors or to
write a solid business plan, and to motivate them to get started right away.
Sometimes, seminars are simply a way for businessmen
and women, or other like-minded people, to network and meet other attendees
with similar interests. Such seminars provide opportunities for the attendees
to make some potentially valuable contacts that can help them move to the next
level in their careers or endeavors.
A trade seminar brings a wide cross-section of the
community together, such as government officials, businessmen and women and the
general public. Such seminars often consist of workshops and the presentation
of white papers. They are usually held for the purpose of networking with
various vendors and making new connections.
SEMINARS VS WORKSHOPS
The main difference between seminars and workshops is
that seminars are usually more academic and less hands-on than workshops.
Seminars are events that are mostly geared towards educational topics and
usually feature one or more experts on the subject matter. On the other hand,
workshops are generally less formal and require more attendee participation
than seminars. The main thrust of workshops is for the participants to gain new
skills during the event under the guidance of the instructor.
DEBATE
Debate is contention in argument;
strife, dissension, quarrelling, controversy;
especially a formal discussion of
subjects before a public assembly or legislature, in Parliament or
in any deliberative assembly.
Debate is a method of formally presenting an argument
in a disciplined manner. Through logical consistency, factual accuracy and some
degree of emotional appeal to the audience are elements in debating, where one
side often prevails over the other party by presenting a superior
"context" and/or framework of the issue. The outcome of a debate may
depend upon consensus or some formal way of reaching a resolution, rather than
the objective facts. In a formal debating contest, there are rules for
participants to discuss and decide on differences, within a framework defining
how they will interact.
Debating is carried out in assemblies of various types
to discuss matters and to make resolutions about action to be taken, often by voting. Deliberative
bodies such as parliaments, legislative assemblies, and meetings of all sorts engage in debates. In
particular, in parliamentary democracies a legislature debates and decides on
new laws. Formal debates between candidates for elected office, such as
the leaders debates that are sometimes held in democracies.
Debating is also carried out for educational and recreational purposes, usually
associated with educational establishments and debating societies.
The major goal of the study of debate as a method or art is to develop the
ability to debate rationally from either position with equal ease.
Informal and forum debate is relatively common, shown
by TV shows such as Q&A,
the Australian talk show, the
quality and depth of a debate improves with the knowledge and skills of its
participants as debaters. The outcome of a contest may be decided by audience
vote, by judges, or by some combination of the two.
SYMPOSIA
It can be organized by a group of
teachers in a resourceful institution to focus on important issues for the
professional growth of secondarily and senior secondary teachers. The messages,
issues, problems to be discussed need to be systematically outlined for
worthwhile discussions and for arriving at some meaningful conclusions.
It comprises experts in a field which
could be drawn from different fields focusing the theme. The presentation could
be in the form of a research paper, a review, or a model to visualize
professional problems and issues in a given context.
ANCHORING
Anchoring or focalize is a cognitive bias that
describes the common human tendency to rely too heavily on the first piece of
information offered (the "anchor") when making decisions.
During decision making, anchoring occurs when individuals
use an initial piece of information to make subsequent judgments. Once an
anchor is set, other judgments are made by adjusting away from that anchor, and
there is a bias toward interpreting other information around the anchor. For
example, the initial price offered for a used car sets the standard for the
rest of the negotiations, so that prices lower than the initial price seem more
reasonable even if they are still higher than what the car is really worth.
Factors
that influence anchoring
Mood
A wide range of research has linked sad or depressed
moods with more extensive and accurate evaluation of problems.[
As a result of this, earlier studies hypothesized that people with more
depressed moods would tend to use anchoring less than those with happier moods.
However, more recent studies have shown the high knowledge opposite effect: sad
people are more likely
to use anchoring than people with happy or neutral mood.
Experience
Early research found that experts (those with,
experience, or expertise in some field) were more resistant to the anchoring
effect. Since then, however, numerous studies have demonstrated that while
experience can sometimes reduce the effect even experts are susceptible to
anchoring. In a study concerning the effects of anchoring on judicial
decisions, researchers found that even experienced legal professionals were
affected by anchoring. This remained true even when the anchors provided were
arbitrary and unrelated to the case in question.
Personality
Research has correlated susceptibility to anchoring
with most of the Big Five personality traits. People high in agreeableness and conscientiousness
are more likely to be affected by anchoring, while those high in extroversion
are less likely to be affected.] Another
study found that those high in openness to new experiences were more
susceptible to the anchoring effect.[
Cognitive ability
The impact of cognitive
ability on anchoring is contested. A
recent study on willingness to pay for consumer goods found that anchoring
decreased in those with greater cognitive ability, though it did not disappear
Another study, however, found that cognitive ability had no significant
effect on how likely people were to use anchoring.
EVENT
MANAGEMENT
Event management is the application of project management to the
creation and development of large scale events such as festivals, conferences, ceremonies, formal parties, concerts,
or conventions. It involves studying the brand,
identifying the target

Sustainability
Sustainable event management (also known as event greening) is the process
used to produce an event with particular concern for environmental, economic
and social issues. Sustainability in event management incorporates socially and
environmentally responsible decision making into the planning, organization and
implementation of, and participation in, an event. It involves including
sustainable development principles and practices in all levels of event
organization, and aims to ensure that an event is hosted responsibly. It is an
integrated manner. Event greening should start at the inception of the project,

Conclusion
Interactive sessions are designed to
transfer the focus from teacher-based lectures to learner centric participation.
Interactive sessions engage and encourage the participant to be active in their
learning. They allow the learner to process new knowledge by connecting what
they have just learned to their existing knowledge base. The average adult attention
span is approximately 20 minutes. However, allowing the brain to break from
lecture by participating in experiential learning extends concentration through
practical application of new knowledge.
