Three-day training workshops are delivered throughout Australia twice per year, in February/March/April and October/November. The workshops are presented by either Freerk Ykema or Brian Hayes, and are open to all educators. Tour dates and training opportunities are given below. Please note that some workshops are organised by the Gadaku Institute, not the Family Action Centre. For information on these courses contact the host organisation directly (details are supplied).
A copy of the registration form, an overview of Rock & Water and information on the one-day introductory and three-day closed workshops is available for download here. You can also email the Family Action Centre's Research and Dissemination Unit (or ph 02 4921 6403) directly for up-to-the-minute information.
In 2008 all workshops organised by the Family Action Centre in NSW, the NT and the ACT will be presented by Brian Hayes; all other workshops will be presented by Freerk Ykema. Some dates may overlap for this reason.
