Workshop

Learn, train, and participate in interactive and collaborative workspaces around a single goal.

A workshop is a series of interactive sessions where participants gather to delve into a topic, learn, collaborate and co-create. A workshop is planned and structured for one or more experts to be present, provide input and create activities that engage participants and stimulate their thinking. In a workshop, a collaborative environment for participants to feel safe and comfortable when sharing, discussing, and brainstorming with others is vital.

Use this event to:

• Brainstorm ideas to work on specific projects or solve certain problems. 
• Promote discussion and problem-solving among participants.
• Deepen participants’ abilities or skills.

Examples
