Power of Play: Adult Learning Reimagined (Batch 1)
Join us for an interactive team play event, "The Power of Play: Adult Learning Reimagined," where we explore the transformative potential of play in adult learning. This event is designed to challenge traditional notions of adult learning and highlight the benefits of integrating play into professional and personal development.
