Each week workshops and modules alternate between advisor and advisee participants. Advisors are introduced to the topic first, and they are encouraged to discuss and work collaboratively in the training activities. The results and the products generated from advisors will be immediately incorporated in the training materials for the following advisees’ session.
The 10 workshops take place during a semester. Corresponding advisees and advisors are also expected to meet and discuss activities and takeaways outside of the workshop sessions.
