Learners can expect to engage with the learning materials online before class, and then use those materials in the one-day workshop. As well as having mini-talks relating to the content, learners will be immersed in authentic scenarios and simulations, through the use of video, animation, and graphics in active learning experiences. Small and large group discussions, and the opportunity to practice how to respond in different scenarios and situations about mealtime difficulties are included. This is an active learning workshop so come prepared to:
- Participate in answering discussion points,
- Share your insights and experiences,
- Develop a strong awareness of barriers and facilitators to safe and enjoyable meals,
- Consider foods, recipes and texture-modification techniques, and
- Reflect upon how to respond in different mealtime situations.
The workshop is an enjoyable and enriching learning experience, as all present learn from and with the trainers and peers in the class. The four modules all have breaks to enable you to have food and drink refreshments, in which you will also reflect upon the acts of eating and drinking and the cultural aspects of meals.
