Dublin Here I Come

I have prepared a paper for an international education conference to be held on and between 29th and 31st October.

The paper is on my work in Kabul: the setting up of a TVET college there.

The conference is being held in the centre of the city.

This is my first trip to Dublin and if you are in or going to be in Dublin at that time, why not say hello!

Six Thinking Hats

In the course I ran this week I built in a Six Thinking Hats exercise and I believe it went well from all points of view. I intended to carry out at least one more 6 Hats exercise during the course but ran out of time.

In at least one of my up and coming courses I have made the 6 Hats even more central and will report back.

One of my motivations for using the 6 Hats technique takes me back a couple of years when we had meetings for the project I was part of and I suggested that we start one of our meetings ONLY with positive news and statements! It was a brilliant move even though some of the team found it challenging initially!
