The course is intended particularly for people running or interested in running informal learning or skill share workshops, but it is also open to anyone else who would like to gain the skills involved in running a workshop or similar learning activity.
The course will include:

Planning a workshop session - a step by step how-to guide

Aims and learning outcomes - what they are and how you and your learners can set them together.

Learning styles - how different people learn and how you can use this to plan your workshop.

Adapting plans to meet the needs and interests of particular participants - making sure everyone can take part.

Risk assessment in relation to planning workshops - a simple guide to making sure everyone is safe!

Evaluating for learning - how can you tell if people have learnt what you've taught them!

This will be a 'hands on' course and you will have the chance to try out what you've learnt, so the theory can make sense in real life.
