How to use this module
Dr. Wong was kind enough to share her wisdom and allow us to archive this event to share with you! What we would suggest is that you engage with the videos as if you were actually attending the event.What you need to run this workshop for yourself:- An even number of people willing to engage with each other;
- Access to the internet, specifically YouTube.
- A copy of the Word Document handout (Click here to download)
- About 2 hours of time
Ideally, you can partner up to engage with each other after you watch the videos together. Then, within your small group, you can partner up to engage in various activities with in the videos. Essentially, you can run your own little break out group and coach/mentor/help each other!
