AWE Open Discussion: Training as a resilience-building tool

Training as a resilience-building tool

How can we ensure that the information and skills we are teaching, and learning, are really inspiring change?

I’m sure we have all experienced that training course where all you want to do is see those dragging clock hands tick over to going home time. However, hopefully many of us have also experienced that training course where we have come out inspired, invigorated and ready to implement what we’ve learnt!

Whether you are a trainer or someone who undertakes educational updates and professional development, let's get together and discuss how we can inspire community and professional resilience building, and make sure we are not just “ticking boxes” and generating meaningless paper.
