General information about our workshops
Format
Each workshop is interactive and uses a mix of adult learning techniques, for example, presentations with questions-and-answers, case studies and problem-solving discussions. There is provision for inclusion of a guest speaker on a topical housing issue.
Workshop facilitators
The workshops are run by Shelter NSW policy staff.
Partnerships
Shelter NSW prefers to conduct workshops in partnership with other organisations whose constituency is interested. Most workshops will be promoted and resourced by the partner agency (that is, in relation to the venue and refreshments) and will take place locally.
