STEP 1: EDUWEEK FORMAT

EAPA-SA encourages presentations that offer innovative solutions to today’s challenges, stimulate inventive thinking, test new ideas and propose creative strategies for marketing, delivering, organising, evaluating, improving and adding value to EA and wellness services.

TYPES OF PRESENTATIONS:

1. Plenary sessions:

Each day’s programme has plenary sessions of 45 minutes in length (30 minute presentation; 15 min – questions). Panel discussions will also be included in the plenary sessions.

2. Research Poster Presentations:

The time allocation to your presentation will be a total of 15 minutes. Your findings should be presented over a period of 7-10 minutes and the Q&A session will make up the balance of your time. You can provide an A1 poster for display in the exhibition venue.

3. Master Class Workshops:

Interactive and engaging workshops that allow the audience to delve into the subject with introspection, exercises and team work. The thinking should be facilitated by you. Our training workshops are 2 hours each and are spread across the programme.

 

Sessions may be delivered by 1 (ONE) presenter, 2 (TWO) co-presenters or panels of up to 4 (FOUR) members, or they may take a more novel approach to learning, such as a debate, role-play, simulation, or game. Proposals should exemplify state-of-the-art knowledge, practice, research or skills in one of the focus areas for this year’s programme. More information on this year’s Themes and Topics are on this page.

We will do our best to create the speaking schedule in a way that allows for your specific seating layout request. Please note that sometimes this may not be possible due to time constraints in changing the room. We will endeavour to give you the layout closest to what you request.
