4.4: Reflective practice as learning (WEL)
Topic Overview
Topic 4.4 revisits the practice of reflection and reflexivity introduced and nuanced in Modules 1, 2 and 3. In this Topic the thread of reflexivity running through the past Modules is built upon and consolidated with practical guidance and tools that will help participants reflect, learn and adapt their ongoing stakeholder engagement and social learning facilitation practice.
The Topic includes a handout and a presentation with an accompanying narration (separate audio file to listen to while going through the slides). Lastly, we have included four audio snippet reflections from practitioners also part of our Course. They reflect on their reflective practice in the context of their work.
