Types of sessions
Workshop sessions: These sessions are 90 minutes in length, including a short break at 45 minutes to allow participants in concurrently running sessions to move to a different session. The break is optional for workshops. Workshops must be practical and interactive and include opportunities for active learning and interaction between participants. It is recommended that a 90 minute workshop include about 30 to 40 minutes of content and 40 to 50 minutes of active learning.
Small group (concurrent) sessions: These sessions are 45 minutes in length. Sessions must include opportunity for discussion e.g. question and answer period, asking participants to contribute their experience, “buzz” groups (2-3 minute discussions on an issue in small groups of 2-3 people), etc. It is recommended that the 45 minute session include about 25 to 30 minutes of content and 15 to 20 minutes for interaction with/among participants.
