Participants can sign up for all or just some of the sessions depending on their interests and availability.

They’ll share their experiences, good practice and insights with participants, to support people’s learning and development. This includes learning lessons from engagement carried out during COVID-19 and how this will impact on working with people and communities going forwards.
