As facilitators, we have the incredible opportunity to create learning experiences that spark curiosity, cultivate connection, and promote change in our learners. However, in order for this to happen, learners need to do more than simply listen to us speak– they need to have active learning opportunities.
 
In this interactive session, we will explore three ways to infuse active learning into your workshops! You will leave the session with a variety of practical activities and tools that can help you create more engaging and enriching professional learning experiences.
