You will hear a variety of short presentations on aspects of practice. Our peers (media teachers and lecturers ) will deliver these and a finalised list will be available on the day. Presentations will either be 3 or 7 minutes and focused on what we do in our practice. Please do sign up to do one below.
3:00 – Plenary and next steps
In this section, we would also like 5 people to present a practical project from students at your institution ideally so we can end on a high!
It would be great to go from reception to postgraduate but maybe I am being a little ambitious.
