Note: Anything contained in square brackets [] is an edit by the organizers.

Super interesting content! I found myself doing it already when reading Text 2 and I’m definitely going to use in the future

The concept and the topic

Learning the basic techniques

As always, I enjoyed the small group discussions

Practical tips

12. What did you like the least?

• Responses: 6 people (30.00% of attendees)

Note: Anything contained in square brackets [] is an edit by the organizers.

Large texts

Would have wanted more deliberation on how to do the things mentioned

Too much reading content for me for a friday evening. Reading stategies were not that new, learnings were moderate.

Time moderation, during questions.
And moderation attention on female participants that are usually left with less attention (do we have a gender issue at the group?)

was boring

The title of Text 2 was a bit misleading. I didn’t expect I would read only about authoritarian leader
