Thematic lunches
In order to ease implementation of new learnings into
the workplace, practical and relevant tools will be offered
to participants throughout the course. Among them,
the Factry Fridge, acting like a giant memo board, will
allow each participant to note, preserve, and share their
experience via a platform that will continue to evolve
after the training sessions. Participants will also take part
in four follow-up sessions after the initial course ends.
