Some strategies I would use are icebreakers and warm-up activities at the beginning of each session, especially after breaks, during the entire duration of the workshop. These activities allow participants to get to know each other in a more informal way, creating trust and leading to deeper conversations.]]> 2023-10-04 01:14:12 UTC https://padlet.com/miguelcamara_edu/co85jmv715wgg0s0/wish/2731150483 miguelcamara_edu https://padlet.com/miguelcamara_edu/co85jmv715wgg0s0/wish/2731151659 The provided PowerPoint and Planner is a great resource for facilitators to design and organize the different sessions of a workshop. In a virtual workshop, adaptation of activities and experiences will be needed in order to be carried on in a virtual setting, small modifications to the PowerPoint are needed, such as adding animations, the activities mentioned in the previous question, and adapting content and other experiences. Finally, it is important to adapt some sessions to be done asynchronously. ]]> 2023-10-04 01:15:00 UTC https://padlet.com/miguelcamara_edu/co85jmv715wgg0s0/wish/2731151659 miguelcamara_edu https://padlet.com/miguelcamara_edu/co85jmv715wgg0s0/wish/2731153011 Having a workshop Padlet divided by sessions, for example, where all resources are shared, and adding a column where participants can write questions any time. The facilitator can check if there are questions from time to time and solve them. ]]> 2023-10-04 01:15:55 UTC https://padlet.com/miguelcamara_edu/co85jmv715wgg0s0/wish/2731153011
