Learners are invited to introduce themselves to their peers. The course creators share their reflections and hopes for the design of the programme and we provide an overview of the content.

We share the Change Curve, tracking the three phases and five stages of change, considered by Elisabeth Kübler-Ross. This model will be introduced each week, to invite us to evaluate the impact of change.

We are introduced to Angela and Chrissy and the first of four conversations between them, about their experiences of the pandemic.

We are introduced to a model that reflects four stages of our emotional, cognitive and social responses to a pandemic. These comprise of Survival, Sense Making, Acceptance and Growth.

These exercises bring the week to an end and invite you to reflect on your learning and look forward to next week.

We introduce the theme of week two and catch up with Angela and Chrissy's stories, since we last saw them.

This activity will invite learners to explore the impact of unwanted change through a visualisation exercise and noting your responses to viewing some art work.

This week we refer back to the model which we introduced in week one and look at the stage of Sense Making

A table is shared which categorises a range of possible reactions people have to a pandemic. It invites learners to evaluate their own responses and share some of these with others.

These exercises provide an opportunity to reflect on the learning from the session and share with your peers. We then look forward to week three.

We introduce the theme of week three and catch up with Angela and Chrissy's stories.

In week one we introduced this model and looked at the Survival stage. Last week we explored the Sense Manging stage and the week we consider the Acceptance stage.

This activity provides an opportunity to watch a video of a social worker talking about her observations of the impact of the pandemic on social workers, their practice and the people they support.

These exercises give us the opportunity to consider how the session has resonated with us before we look forward to week four.

We introduce the theme of week four and catch up with Angela and Chrissy to hear about their experiences this week.

In week 1 we introduced this model and have been focusing on a different stage each week. In week 1 we looked at Survival, in week 2 we considered Sense Making and last week we explored Acceptance. This week we look at Growth.

This prose poem by Kitty O'Meara depicts a reflection from a future perspective, inviting us to imagine the pandemic in the distant past.

This activity introduces the model of Appreciative Inquiry and invites us to evaluate the present and consider our hopes for the future.

This session provides some opportunities to reflect on the learning from the session and the whole course. We consider what you would like to share with peers and what you will take away.
