The purpose of the training day is to open up and extend the world of crafting - for newcomers and more experienced people alike. And to provide an easy way to have all the questions you will probably arrive with answered by experienced practitioners.
Unlike the rest of the conference, this day does not follow the OpenSpace Technology format.
For our training day, we have four tracks with a variety of sessions. Some are aimed at beginners and some at more experienced people, but they aren't strictly divided. You can pick and choose any sessions from any track to make a program that suits your needs.
Sessions will be taught by tenured and distinguished community members with years of practical experience.
We welcome practitioners and learners at all levels at SoCraTes - because we believe that sharing, teaching and learning are equally important to the community health, and that this is a fundamental part of what makes SoCraTes the magical place it is. Training Day is intended to build bridges and make it easier to join the community, not to create an extra entry barrier. As a consequence, you can only book a ticket to Training Day as an add-on to the full SoCraTes conference.
Training Day is not part of the regular SoCraTes programme. It requires both extra preparation - especially for the session hosts - and additional cost. As a consequence, you will have to pay a cover charge of 100 € to attend.
