Conduct the sessions in smaller groups so everyone can see what you are doing
-
Provide an opportunity for participants to ask questions and practice what you have demonstrated and provide feedback
-
Teach what you know
-
Be creative and confident
-
Bring write ups on the topic with diagrams and share this at the end of the session
