Arrangement of an encouraging awards scheme

One of the important aspects in the implementation of ECA is to make them self-rewarding for the participants. To achieve this objective, students should first of all be encouraged to take part in ECA and to gain experience from the process. Once students have been stimulated to try out the activities, they should be further motivated to do so by various means. An awards scheme is one of the best motivators. According to the nature of each activity, awards can comprise praise, certificates, merit points, etc.
