Program structure
Group workshop component
Throughout the Lab sportif, participants will exchange ideas in person or online on topics of their choice, which are at the heart of their professional concerns. The aim is to deepen our knowledge and expertise by interacting on a regular basis and, if necessary, seeking outside help. Eight 120- to 180-minute meetings are scheduled, generally on weekday mornings;
Depending on the needs of the participants, external collaborators may be called upon.
Individual support
Individual coaching will be offered to each participant. This component will be based on the professional project outlined by each participant. The form of support will therefore vary from one coach to another. Meetings will be held mainly by videoconference.
Four individual sessions are scheduled
Reflective practice component
Throughout the LAB, there will be readings or podcasts related to the theme, as well as a few tasks for reflection and sharing. Coaches are expected to commit to their quest.
Allow around 60 minutes per week.
