The session will cover:

  • a basic introduction to reflective practice
  • why reflection is a powerful free tool, that we can all use more/ who and in what settings we may be encouraged to be a reflective practitioner
  • some tools and theories that may help us frame our reflections and adapt our future practice.

This session is open to anyone who is interested; it is an introduction, so you need to know nothing about reflective practice before signing up. Traditionally reflective practice has been embedded in work with people, such as youth work, social work, social pedagogy, therapy, coaching, etc. but it can also be helpful in growing business, forming functional teams, or business improvement.  This session will focus on an individual, ‘becoming a more reflective practitioner’, but if there is interest there is a future option to look at reflective group work activities and the embedding of this in day-to-day practice.
