Workshops

These workshops are for students registered on the Work Based and Integrative Studies programmes.

CPED offers a strong portfolio of options for you to negotiate as part of your degree pathway. Some are delivered in powerfully practical workshops held in Chester, and others are facilitated at a distance in the form of online learning or work-based projects.

Our modules cover an array of topics such as communication skills, digital skills, coaching skills, conflict resolution and emotional intelligence to enable you to develop and enhance your skills in the workplace. For the full range of modules, review our module catalogue below and speak with your tutor to integrate those which will have greatest impact in your context.

Schedule

Due to restrictions relating to Covid-19, adjustments have had to be made in the way workshops are taken. It is expected that students will have some face-to-face contact supported by online materials and virtual interactions. The mode of delivery will change with government guidelines and students booking on a workshop will be informed of the details nearer the time.

Unless specified, modules are available at all levels.

Writing Days

This is your opportunity to book some time in your diary to work on something YOU need to write. This could be, for example, a module assignment, a Triple NELM, a doctorate or a journal article. This idea is that we will all be writing at the same time and the day will run in short bursts of writing so it isn’t overwhelming. This isn’t a tutorial session and we won’t be asking you to show us what you have written and you won’t get feedback on it. It’s simply a time for us to come together and write.

These will be online only, not face-to-face. However, if you want to come to campus and work in one of the libraries, you could book yourself a space and join in via your phone/laptop/tablet.

Writing Days will be led by Sandra Hopkins or Jan Jones on these dates (do pop them in your diary):

16th August 2022
20th September 2022
19th October 2022
22nd November 2022
14th December 2022

The schedule for each day will be strict and as follows

10:00 - 10:10 a.m. Introduction and expectations of the day
10:10 - 10:30 a.m. A quick exercise to get you in the mood for writing
10:30 - 11:30 a.m. Writing time
11:30 - 11:45 a.m. Break
11:45 a.m. - 12:45 p.m. Writing time
12:45 - 1:45 p.m. Lunch
1:45 - 2:45 p.m. Writing time
2:45 - 3:00 p.m. Break
3:00 - 3:45 p.m. Writing time
3:45 - 4:00 p.m. Reflection

If you can only come to part of it, that's fine, simply use the Teams links below and just join in as you can.

We look forward to a successful writing day, whether you achieve 500 or 5,000 words, you'll still be making progress!
