The morning sessions are
generally theory-based, offering background and support to
the topic under discussion. Participants are invited to
contribute fully; these are not lectures but workshops!
There are four afternoon sessions each week focusing on
practical applications for the ideas discussed during the
morning sessions. The afternoons will be in a small group
format where participants will be collaborating to reinforce
ideas from the morning workshops. |
