Events

31 August - 1 September 2000

On Thursday 31st August and Friday 1st September, preceeding the Annual General Meeting of Saturday 2nd September,  we will organise the second QUALITY FEEDBACK SESSION (QFS). This time we will organise these two events in HEIDELBERG, Germany!

After we experienced the great benefits accrued during the first Quality Feedback Session which we organised here in Brussels last year (see the GOPP EXPRESS NEWSLETTER for some   reflections about it), we thought that such an event might become a regular event of the GMA.

In a QUALITY FEEDBACK SESSION each participant will receive feedback from their colleagues on a moderated session. Participants may moderate sessions on a subject which they have prepared or do this on an ad hoc basis (like this was done the first time). The subjects may be selected from issues of common interest.
