The second compulsory taught course on the PG Cert, ‘Activities, Knowledge & Values’ will address 5 themes (each delivered in a two-week block), which will be delivered as 5 synchronous interactive seminars (90 minutes). There will be fortnightly, asynchronous discussion-board activities, short video recordings, and topical readings.
