Evaluation exchange: Self-evaluation through peer support
On 28 November we are running a seminar to explore the educational potential of Mindreel, a database containing more 100 films about mental health. The films are freely available to all, and some may be downloaded for educational use.
You are invited to attend our AGM on 11 December 2012 at Citizen M in Glasgow.
