EVALUATION OF SESSION.
Participants liked how the session was run - the concept of learning from each other was greatly appreciated and welcomed. The activity - global detector - served to bring the inter-relationships and dependencies close to home and aroused the interest of all. Persons expressed the views of now eagerly looking forward to future sessions and curious to see how much deeper things will all tie in.
