What’s on offer
Workshop formats
Two in-person or live online workshops, with different work in each. An online workshop series is on the way. Workshops can include follow-up practice after the event, to consolidate what was learned.
Full-day workshop
A full day on navigating controversy. Participants practise the method in the settings of campus life, and look carefully at online and social-media claims — truth-seeking as a student skill.
- Navigating controversy
- Truth-seeking online and on social media
- Practise across campus settings
Follow-up practice
Workshops can include follow-up practice after the event, so the method has time to consolidate.
