Your academic programme for this year is comprised of six (6) modules. Modules one (1) to five (5) are offered in nine short blocks of 2 days and 3 days. Given that module six (6) provide you with academic writing and research literacy skills its runs across the five modules. This allows facilitators to draw relevant insights from his/her discipline as practical examples that will be applied to module six.
The approach to this learning experience is a participatory one. This means that you will be responsible, together with our fellow classmates, facilitators and staff of the Workers’ College for your own development. The role of your facilitators is to ‘facilitate’ your learning experience. They will your supporters, helpers, as you go through the learning process. In other words the facilitators are not there to teach but to help you connect the dots while providing you with the broader perspective and context. This means that you will be considered as a glass half full and will have to draw from your reserve to enrich the learning process. This requires your active participation in class sessions by sharing your experiences, asking questions when you are not sure, debate an issue when you have a different view while respecting the process and the views of others at all times.
