This ALAC Development Session is only for ongoing and incoming ALAC members, liaisons and others invited by the ALAC Chair.
The ALAC Development Session will take place on Wednesday, 9 November between 13:15 and 17:30.
It will foster co-operation within the ALAC as well as allow planning for ongoing and upcoming projects and activities within the ALAC.
The Development Session will also serve as a team-building exercise to increase collaboration and to work more effectively as a virtual global team inter-sessionally.
The activity will also include sessions on professional skills development and teambuilding. This latter activity will increase the ability of all ALAC members to develop critical skills needed to more effectively participate in meetings and work in a multi-cultural environment.
