Teatime Conversations

Teatime Conversations

Special interest groups - talks about a specific theme with a moderator and those who are interested in the topic.

Meet, share and learn from each other and maybe even create something new.

 

NEW: Teatime Conversations

Meet in special interest groups, over tea, coffee and biscuits or cookies, and talk about a theme close to your heart.

This is your chance to meet other teachers, share, learn from each other and maybe create something new.

Each conversation has been suggested by one or two teachers, who are also the facilitators for each group.

You can just walk up to a session, no booking is required.
