OBJECTIVES:
Provide Assistance to the local organizing team for tutor management activities.

2. Site visits in advance (if possible) to understand the challenges and restrictions of the workspace setup
3. Evaluate Project Pitches

- See previous criteria document of Matthias (see bottom of this page!)
- Tutor competence is key. Third parties won't have the relevant experience.
4. Assist in Project Development

STRATEGIC EVALUATION PROCESS OF MEDS WORKSHOP PROPOSALS
(by Matthias)
Main evaluation criteria of a workshop proposal:
- quality of outcome
- teaching of skills = learning opportunities for participants
- possibility for the participants to actively (influence the) design
- aspect of fun during the workshop
- does the workshop align with the overall theme or a proposed site for an intervention?
- cost of the project
- realistic timeline (is the work going to be finished by 10-15 participants in 10 days of work?)
Assessment of the future tutors:
- has the person been to any MEDS before?
- how senior is the person? (still student / graduated / young professional / professional)
- quality of CV and portfolio
- does the person have teaching / workshop experience?
- does the tutor speak english on an acceptable level?
- are they involved in the development of MEDSnetwork or future MEDSworkshops?
Overall we’re aiming for a good mix of:
- gender
- nationalities
- professions (architecture, design etc.)
- age
- workshop categories
- proposed sites of intervention
- new faces and MEDSalumni
For tutors whose proposal isn’t being chosen:
- automatic offer to be a participant
- try to pair small tutor teams as co-tutors (not more than 3 persons per team also no single tutors)
