Aurora 2018-19
University participants complete the programme
"This represents a huge undertaking for each of the participants: involving attendance at four development days in Edinburgh; taking an active role in an action learning set; engaging in a wide range of preparatory and follow-up learning activities and establishing a relationship with a mentor from within the university. Their ability to find the time, resources and determination to create the space to engage in learning is admirable. They have emerged from the programme smiling and full of inspiration." Ann Tilbury, LTA
