Through scenario-based discussions, collaborative problem-solving, and realistic role-plays, educators will enhance their ability to foster respectful, inclusive, and psychologically safe environments that support meaningful learning for working professionals. Participants will get to experience problem-based learning and discussions during the workshop.
