The tutorials will be held on Friday of each week at two different times to ensure a session is accessible for everyone in the world, regardless of your time zone. The tutorials will include revision of the course content for the week, discussion of key points, and will be an opportunity for participants to ask questions. These tutorials will be facilitated by Tristan Claridge, who has over 20 years of social capital experience and is an expert teacher and facilitator.
