Our workshop booking platform will open on 4th November 2024.

Step 3: Connect with workshop hosts

Once you’ve booked any workshops, you’ll receive the provider’s contact information.

2. Create a virtual meeting link and share it with your workshop host(s). We ask you to create this meeting link for safeguarding purposes and expect one educator/ safeguarding lead to be present for the duration of the session.
