How will the course be conducted?

Method

The course will include:

Participants will be issued with extensive reading materials, including a resource workbook, and be given a number of small assignments.

Prior to the 5.45pm start participants will be encouraged to come early from 5.15pm onwards for coffee, nibbles and conversation.  The half hour can also be used for preparation of workshop discussion and assignments.  In addition, each session will have a 20-30 minute break at which point beverages and food will be served.  This break will also allow for informal discussion.

Participants should apply only if they have a high degree of commitment to the course. They are expected to:

• Attend ALL TEN SESSIONS
• Be present for the full duration of each session
• Do the necessary reading and other preparation for each session
• Complete a number of short assignments
