What is the teff Welcome Week blueprint?

# data[].attributes.body
The teff welcome week blueprint is a tool to provide inspiration to organize a welcome week. A week like this allows future teacher educators to get to know each other and turn their attention towards the importance of teacher well-being. The activities can help ensure that students feel at home at the university and learn techniques on how to optimize their learning during the study.
