WORKSHOP FORMAT

Workshops do not require prior knowledge. Everything is explained in simple everyday language. Jargon and acronyms are kept to a minimum. Workshops consist of talk, questions and answers. There are no power points or audio visuals used. On a busy Zoom workshop it is not possible to have the same level of engagement with each participant as on a small face to face workshop. Each workshop follows a script. By using scripts more topics can be covered in less time with complete accuracy. Participants are sent a copy of the script by email after the workshop.
