Testimonial of the reference person

Working with Spela and the organisational team for realising 'Digital Youth Works - The Mental Health Edition' was great. I believe we complimented each other well with our knowledge, skills and experience as facilitators of learning. The group were extremely responsive to the engaging digital activities and reflecting on the challenges and benefits that the digital world can bring to our mental state of wellbeing. This was due to the practicical and experiential approaches applied throughout and the dedication and professionalism from the team.
