Working With Your Team

2. How do you feel about the prospect of handling a Code of Conduct incident at an event? What questions do you have?

Launches and Landings

3. Introductions often include a lot of mundane content. How can an introduction cultivate motivation (per our recommendations) while still conveying necessary information?

Putting It Together

4. Try the “Organize your knowledge” activity! Report back: what did you learn?

Key Points

• Introducing a workshop has an outsized impact on the overall experience of the workshop. In addition to emphasizing preparation, it can be helpful to encourage trainees to think about this as a teaching challenge.
• At the end of the workshop, we ask our trainees to take some time to organize some of the information they have learned. This is also a useful exercise to practice when preparing to teach the workshop!
