Managing my time, to focus on the course and work.
construction was ongoing next door to our office so it was difficult some days to stay focus during the session and having consistent internet access.

Some days was able to stay at home or forced to move from my office in order to stay focus. I was able to set a time table to be able to complete task and read before the session.

I also really enjoyed the activities and group work. Meeting persons from all over the world and learning from them has also been impactful.♥︎

I enjoyed the different presentation methods utilized. The gamification of some components made it all the more interesting.

One of the many highlights of this course was the opportunity to learn about very practical approaches to incorporating EBP into our programme delivery. The Blueprints registry is definitely a tool I will be using in future. I have been able to actively participate in and contribute to collaborative exercises and I am proud of everyone's active role in supporting and learning from each other.

I think this course was successful as i have learnt so many new things about prevention and the fact that  I now have the opportunity to serve in a more informed way.
It was refreshing to work on padlet , Jamboard and using all the platforms that were open to me through this course.
We were blessed with two great teachers. Thank you

I was pretty familiar with the information shared, but the reminders were so impactful. However, I was completed amazed and encouraged by the media platform and the dynamic, diverse and attention catching ways that prevention education can be done. This should prove effective with young people who get bored easily. thank you for widening my knowledge where that is concerned.
Connection with other across the region and the world was also empowering for me.

I am especially interested in the integration of faith in the planning, delivery and success of EB programs (both prevention and intervention).

I am interested in doing graduate research on the above.

If anyone in in contact with Teen Challenge in your country I'd love to hear of that too.

# data[].attributes.body
I had other commitments on a daily basis which took place before the session, so it sometimes took me a while to refocus on the training.
Also, the timing of the sessions, made it difficult to reschedule other school-based activities around it. However, I was able to make it through to the end successfully.

Some of the groups were more challenging than others, due to low participation - but that is the norm for group work. Those of us who were willing to speak up made the group(s) shine.

# data[].attributes.body
A highlight for me is gaining a greater understanding of prevention Science as well as gaining new resource links such as Blueprint for evidence based programs.

A success- I finally got ranked in one of the Kahoot activites :) and I am proud of the collaborative efforts of the groups in their respective presentation
