Learning material

This learning material supports the development and delivery of reflective practice sessions on chronologies.

The session aims to support delegates to:

• Strengthen skills in compiling, analysing, and using chronologies meaningfully

Included is a Powerpoint presentation, facilitation notes, and a chronology template.
