Programme Details: 
This interactive workshop will showcase a variety of different approaches Dr Renee Lim uses in her work, through performance examples and the sharing of underlying pedagogies that inform design and delivery. With a focus on personalized learning for behavioural change, Renee has combined her knowledge in performance, behavioural psychology, communication skills, educational pedagogy, co-design and healthcare to create educational programs that are engaging, relevant and meaningful. 

If you are someone who wants students or clinicians to grow confidence and capability in engaging with others in complex situations and learning from these interactions, then Renee’s approaches may be of interest to you.
