Each night we will cover the five following phases:

Learning - Doing - Sharing - Reflecting - Caring

A supplied course booklet is designed for people to reflect on their course journey. At the end of the course a CD sized desk top folder containing a collection of inspirational material gathered during the course will be given to each participant to provide ongoing support by enabling participants to continue with their post-course reflections.
