The Community Board offers a range of Hybrid resources that can be used by you independently and at any time, as well as often being linked to workshops you can sign up for. You\u2019ll find these resources listed under Forums, LWA, Workshops etc \u2013 but collectively they all relate to Creativity + Reslience<\/strong>, offering thinking, tools and strategies on a range of topics to help with skills, knowledge, motivation, planning, time management etc. You\u2019ll use these resources in ways best suited to you, choosing what is relevant to your practice, and the questions and issues involved. This includes finding there are gaps for you in these resources. Where you find that tell us through your tutor or Head of Year so we can add to and develop resources.  The Creativity + Resilience<\/strong> section pulls together some of these resources \u2013 but use the whole Community Board to really explore what is available. We\u2019ll tell you when new things are added but keep looking at it because it\u2019s a changing resource not a static archive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
