Course Delivery

With a focus on practical application, each session within the virtual workshop will have opportunities to use breakout rooms, with case studies and activities to complete collaboratively. 

Participants must come prepared to engage with the topics, discuss the learning material and share their experiences with peers and the facilitator. Participants are encouraged to ask questions, try new ideas and share their knowledge. This event promotes open candid discussions in a trusted environment.

We provide an inclusive and respectful environment where participants can take risks, learn from mistakes, and actively contribute, leading to a more engaging and effective virtual learning experience. Active participation and mutual support are highly valued, and we ask everyone to adhere to these principles throughout the workshop.
