SUMMARY:Social Communication Workshop: The Art of Non-verbal Communication

Each 90-minute workshop covers a different aspect of social communication\, providing information\, tips and strategies intended to help in day-to-day social situations. You can attend the session(s) that interest you the most or we recommend attending them all! \n\n\n\nThursday\, July 3\, 20255:00 – 6:30 pmOnline via Sinneave Connects \n\n\n\nThere is no cost to attend these workshops but please register in advance via Sinneave Connects\, our online learning hub.
