WHAT PARTICIPANTS SAY ABOUT THE LEARNING PATH

**** *

The workshop helped to make my ideas a little more concre te, in addition it was nice to brainstorm about these ideas with othe rs.

I found the different frameworks and models that w ere offered very useful. It helps to organise your thoughts and make a plan for the future.

The sessions were really inspir ing, and also a good combination of practice with lecture. We had a l ot of opportunities to discuss our ideas with each other

< em>It's encouraged to find partners, rather than trying to do everyth ing yourself.
