+ A safe learning environment is essential for the workshop, which includes the ability to see each other, just like in in-person events. Therefore, having your camera on is a requirement for this workshop.

The topic will be presented in an interactive workshop. Throughout the workshop, there will be brief presentations, followed by opportunities to test and discuss the concepts in small groups. In guided, hands-on exercises, you will be
able to reflect on your own experiences related to the workshop topic and gain new insights for your daily life. Afterward, all participants will receive detailed documentation.

This online workshop is free and open to all students of the FORTHEM Alliance - regardless of their study program or academic progress - and you can receive a certificate of participation upon request.
