It's student to student. Student leaders from one school teaching student leaders from another school.
Workshops are hands-on, not sit-and-listen. The goal for all of our workshops is to allow students to engage with activities and relevant topics that students can take to their schools and share.
Workshops are approximately 45 minutes and attendance at each session could range from 5 - 40 participants.
