What worked well?
* Group dynamics – members of the group were very vocal, small group allowed for this
* Organisation and structure – well planned out, script worked well for structure and steering conversations
* Performance – ‘looked the part’, confident, got into the role
* Documentation – balance of sound/photography and short film clips
* Paperwork – Disclaimers, confidentiality and note taking
What didn’t work?
* Too personal and vocal – myself and Jem were too vocal in the discussions which perhaps caused bias in the conversations
* Sound recording – more planning needed and practice run, some sound didn’t record due to rushed setup
* Location – too noisy, too internal – in college… could have been more effective in a more public setting
* Publicity – more publicity across public rather than within PCA, time management of publicity could have been more effective done earlier – though small group worked well
* Professional – could have been more professional in the role, we were more relaxed and informal because we knew everyone who attended
Other comments…
* Achieved a level of awareness through discussions – members more aware of the construction of their identity
* Good feedback from group – members were interested and vocal – perhaps potential to do again?
* Achieved most of what we set out to do, to hold a small event based on the ideas of Alcoholics Anonymous and to raise the awareness and get people thinking about the ideas of social identity construction
* Lost half of sound recording due to poor planning and human error
* Worked well having colleague recording sound and photography
