3 pre-ToT events, 2020-2021

Three online Introduction to Sphere courses (5 x 2 hours) were run between June and November 2020. These were originally conceived as 3-day in-person workshops but were moved online in response to COVID-19. In early 2021, graduates of these courses were invited to apply to continue to the next phase of the ToT programme. 22 applications were received. Due to continuing COVID-19 restrictions, it was not possible to schedule the planned 5-day in-person ToT event during 2021. This event is now further postponed to 2022.
