Sessions
+ New SessionThis page lists the ideas and discussion for Sessions. Sessions are how we share, learn, and grow together.
These are ideas people have for a shared virtual gathering (or perhaps even kanohi ki te kanohi for local groups). A session might be a webinar, online workshop, discussion group or panel, or a focussed Community of Practice hui for a specific group.
Whether you're proposing an idea, requesting a topic, or just browsing to see what’s happening — sessions are the heart of the learning opportunities on this site.
If reading the sessions already here highlights a gap or new idea for you, then suggest a session you'd like to run (Proposed) or ask for it to be run (Requested).
