Everyone has a chance to develop his or her own role and no one escapes without saying “ACTION!”
This course will be run in line with the government guidelines at the time with social distancing in place as well as regular hand washing and sanitation of equipment. If national or local lockdowns mean we are unable to run the course in-person then it will be transferred to be run online and the structure will stay the same.
