Following is a sample schedule for the workshop. We have encouraged people to print this off, and stick it to their wall, enter the dates into their PDA/Calendar or whatever. Anybody wanting to run this workshop will need to carefully consider the structure for their own particular situation. Our schedule is reasonably simple – columns for conversational themes, activities and sandbox challenges.
