So, how did it go? I hope someone took photos of the lab setup?
It went well and there are photos (I took some and so did one of the course members..he had a very fine camera). One thing that pleased me was that after the ‘official’ course finished the participants hung around in the lab talking to each other and the staff. A good indicator that a dialogue was achieved I thought.
That is a good indication. I have started to document such post-activities as they carry a lot of meaning and energy.
