What is the format of the in-person courses?One of the many benefits of in-person classes is to build community with other class members to foster future support and communication groups. The class size is intentionally kept small. We will be following the course syllabus examining each of the topics through multiple lenses of diversity, inclusion, and cultural understandings. Formats will include general instruction, group discussions and application experiences along with time for small group processing and personal reflection. We end with celebration, certificates, and introductions into the EOL community.
-
What is the maximum number of participants for each course?To ensure a quality learning experience, we limit our class sizes to 10 participants. This allows for personalized attention and ample opportunity for interaction and questions.
