Please consider the presentation skills covered in the WeTrain sessions to prepare your presentation, and reflections you have captured across the week.
You may use a Powerpoint, however this is not necessary. The audience for this presentation will be your peers and staff in the program. It should capture your own personal style and experience in both Los Angeles and Sydney.
Designing the Future, Sunday 22 December 2pm
This session will involve using information from the Reflection Book and from feedback of the UCLA leg of the program. Working in groups, we will gather and document:
- impactful program elements
- greatest learning from different parts of the program
- insights for future programs
The aim of this session is to provide comprehensive feedback and a potential structure for a similar program in the future.
