How it works
How it works
The first meeting will start at 09:00 and you will be asked to share your research in the form of a fairy tale. You will also have to share with us your progress so far and your expectations of the workshop. Then there will be a briefing on the day's activities. At 11:00 we break for uninterrupted offline writing until. At 15:30, we meet in an online plenary session to discuss our progress. You will then receive overnight homework, and we will meet the next day at 09:00. From there we will follow the same pattern of briefing writing, critiquing, feedback, and homework.
Prof. Johannes and Dr Franci will be on standby by via WhatsApp for one-on-one consultation during the whole day.
PS. We have some spaces available for face-to-face attendance on our varandah in Simonstown. R10 000 includes refreshments and lunch, and we can help you to find your own accommodation nearby.
