Thanks for joining us – if you missed part (or all) of the live webinar don’t worry – the whole webinar recording is posted below!
We found it very useful to have done this webinar, with some thought provoking questions, discussions and links to other great projects – as well as us learning some new skills for online events. We are already thinking about doing more things like this, later on in the project.
So to help us do better next time, we would be grateful if you could spare a couple of minutes to complete this short, anonymous, feedback survey.
