Reflective Learning Workshops

Two Reflective learning and information sharing workshops were conducted for program managers and staff participating in the SSWBC Program in Victoria.

The first workshop, titled Review of Phase 1, held in March 2002, provided the opportunity for program managers and staff involved to briefly outline their projects, share ideas and identify possible links across regions, and reflect on projects to inform project progress.

The second workshop, titled Presentation of SSWBC Projects / Reflective Learning, was conducted in March 2003. The purpose of this Workshop was to exchange information on projects; share project learnings and discuss implementation issues; and consolidate progress to date.
