You'll gain practical strategies to:
- Encourage open discussions while upholding academic rigour
- Approach sensitive topics like geopolitical conflicts, personal vulnerability, and cultural differences with confidence
- Create a learning environment where students feel both supported and challenged
Through hands-on exercises and real-world scenarios, you’ll discover techniques to build trust, engagement, and resilience in the classroom.
