BROWSE AND WATCH EVENTS
Browse the events pages to find out what’s on click on the upcoming events and recorded events tabs. Access to all live and recordings of webinars, workshops, talks and debates is absolutely free.
WATCH AND ATTEND LIVE WEBINARS AND WORKSHOPS
All webinars and workshops are free, but you do need to register. We will be using Zoom for all our webinars and workshops. If you’ve never used Zoom before, you can go here to download and install the software – it is free to use. If you don’t download the software ahead of time, you will be prompted to do so when you open the link to join the webinar, you can use Zoom on your mobile device or on your pc.
Webinar etiquette
You can enter the webinar 10 minutes before the start. You will be able to see and hear the panellists but they won’t be able to see or hear you so you need to use the Q&A button at the bottom of your screen to ask questions or comment.
Participating in workshops
Workshops have a limited capacity and are interactive – that means that all participants can be seen and heard. You will need a device that has a camera and microphone. Once you are in the workshop, your host will explain how to use the Zoom controls for that particular session.
You will receive a reminder of the webinar or workshop you have booked one hour before the live event is due to start – you can use the link on the reminder email to join the event.
Most webinars and workshops will be recorded and may be watched after the live streamed event.
