learning experience.

One or more internationally renowned instructors will present an extended
workshop with hands-on learning opportunities. The multi-day format and
on-site networked multimedia lab mean participants can both learn theory and
apply what they have learned in practice. (Note: some courses are offered in
French or bilingually, in English and French).

-----------
Participants apply to join a small group for discussion and debate around
shared concerns. Agendas and outcomes are decided by the attendees - who
will meet electronically prior to assembling on Grindstone Island - and may
include publications, exhibits, joint projects, or in-depth critical
discourse. A facilitator with valuable experience will help a carefully
selected group achieve its objectives.
