Course Format
This course will be delivered in a half-day (3.5 hour) interactive learning session conducted online in Zoom (with built-in breaks!). Attend live sessions with facilitators and fellow participants; learn and practice new skills both in session and practice the skills between sessions. Participants receive electronic versions of all resources and tools.
This course is not a webinar! Together, we will create a learning space that honors everyones’ unique context and background. Our workshops prioritize connection, meaning making, and fun!
