    Spring School: 25 - 27 April 2016

    Case Studies & Workbook 

    A hard copy of the course workbook will be sent to you no later than ten days in advance of the course. You can download and view the Spring School workbook here. It is provided for your use only and not for further circulation

     

    Please download for your use and (if you wish or need to) print the following General Instructions for the case studies in advance of the relevant module of the course

    For those cases in which you are playing roles other than mediator, we will normally issue private instructions for roles on the day before the workshops. This will avoid you being overwhelmed with paper and potentially confused in your preparation. In the cases, please note that names can be changed to accommodate the gender of the role player!
