The full-day conference was followed on 20 December by full-day workshops facilitated by Dr. Michael Cavanagh and Prof. David Lane, and half-day workshops facilitated by Dr. Sandra Foster, Robert Nathan, Prof. Michael Carroll and Halina Brunning.

This reflection and enquiry were particularly well supported by the three keynote presentations.
