New from 22 Nov 2021: The class moves to online only. Our planned on-site sessions will not take place until further notice.

This course will take place online, with weekly synchronous meetings via BBB on Moodle.

However, if possible in the context of safety and hygiene regulations, we will have 2-3 onsite meetings for those sessions in which we will focus on interactive activities and peer feedback.

Our first meeting will be online, and we will then assess together whether and when to meet for these on-site session.
