Feedback from 2020 Expo
√ Excellent Expo! Well organised, astute presenters and a lot of networking time.
√ Terrific. Each presenter was fully engaged, articulate and the sessions were filled with ideas that I can use with the children I have contact with. Thank you for putting the day together. Meeting other participants, all of the sessions were worth watching and participating in. Great, Great Great.
√ Thank you for organising such an interesting, inspiring and thought-provoking training. I loved every session. I have attended so many workshops over the years and I can honestly say this is one of the best.
√ The Expo was incredibly well thought out and planned - it provided an absolute gift in each presentation and activity and was deeply inspiring to refocus, recreate and reconnect - all the things it said it was aiming to do. so very congruent and I would pass on and share/recommend it with others in a heart beat.
√ This one of the best course/on-line experiences I think I’ve had. Thought this was just brilliant!
