Why make time for it

Sessions use Visual Thinking Strategies and do not require prior art knowledge. Each listed Friday has an English session from 13:00–14:00 and a Chinese session from 16:00–17:00. Places are first come, first served, without advance registration. The organiser says discussions are audio-recorded for internal research. These fourteen sessions belong to one workshop series, so choose the date and language that suit you. Enter from West Gaoqing Road.
