If you are a designer interested in developing your career as a trainer or creative mentor, or if you are already a manager, trainer, mentor, or leading professional in creative industries, apply now for a three-day workshop on creative mentorship, facilitation and experiential journeys.
The workshop will run from the 21st to the 23rd of February, and offers participants a chance to work closely with the instructors Samar Dudin, Thana’a Khasawneh and Reem Abu Kishk, who will share their experiences, methods, and tools in designing and delivering effective and interactive trainings.

Targeted specifically at creative industries, the workshop introduces experiential learning processes, how to enhance empathic listening, self reflection, as well as practical skills in facilitation and how to spark the journey of growth in young designers.
