Guidelines for CSL presentations:

Here are some content points to remember for your talks..

1.    Include background details/material on the organizers / organizations responsible for the conference and on the groups that participated. (Intro)
 
2.    Discus the benefits of volunteering and possible how this has developed in the UAE (history) –  Why is volunteering important in the UAE historically?

3.    Discuss the benefits that you (each speaker) gained & provided from the experience

4.    Possibly, touch on how this experience has changed your view of ‘special needs’ 
people, and how it will affect your future perceptions.

5.    Anything else you think is relevant to the presentation.

  Use your blog photos and posts to create a supporting PowerPoint slide show (you should not have more than 10 slides OR more than  Total!). Each person should speak for 4-6 minutes each (maximum 8 mins).
