WHAT PARTI CIPANTS SAY ABOUT THE LEARNING PATH

*****

Th e workshop helped to make my ideas a little more concrete, in additio n it was nice to brainstorm about these ideas with others.

I found the different frameworks and models that were offered ve ry useful. It helps to organise your thoughts and make a plan for the future.

The sessions were really inspiring, and also a good combination of practice with lecture. We had a lot of opportun ities to discuss our ideas with each other

It's encour aged to find partners, rather than trying to do everything yourself.< /em>
