====== Practicum ======
**Practicum** is an [[activities:Arts & Sciences:|Arts & Sciences]] event, dedicated to classes and teaching.

=====History=====
According to Dame T'sivia bas Tamara of Amberview, Practicum began as one- or two-hour long classes in order to give the locals something to do in the depths of winter. 

Persistent rumours suggest that this event started as a birthday celebration for Baroness Enid Aurelia of the Tin Isles. These rumours persist despite the lady's own claims to the contrary.

Over time, the event has become a day of many classes of various lengths on sundry topics. Past topics include lectures on Historical Figures; subjects in [[activities:martial:armoured_combat|Armoured Combat]]; subjects in [[activities:martial:rapier_combat|Fencing]]; histories of the SCA; recording your musical performance at home, subjects on EDI (Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion); and all manner of making. Often, because classes could be messy, the day does not require garb. After classes, garb is donned for court, feast (often potluck), and [[activities:arts_sciences:dance|dancing]]. 

=====Location=====
Practicum is typically held in the Canton of [[branches:canton:Caldrithig]].

=====Date=====
Practicum occurs on the last weekend of February.

=====Other=====
There have been discussions about extending this event to encompass a whole weekend.
