SRCCON 2021 Documentation
We love to see ideas and conversations from SRCCON make their way into the wider world. This page collects resources shared by our facilitators that you can refer to as you bring SRCCON home with you. (Looking for great ways to share new things with colleagues? See the After Party toolkit!)
Session Notes & Resources
We asked this year’s session leaders to send us slide decks, worksheets, and other documentation to share publicly—if you’re a facilitator and you have session resources to share, let us know!
