PARTICIPANT’S FEEDBACK
“All the lectures were excellent.
The continuous interaction during
the presentations made them much
more interesting – the time just seemed
to disappear.”
“Theory was presented at an appropriate
level and I really liked the way the theory
was the starting point & then applied
examples used… especially appreciated
nitty gritty of ethics in practice…”
