TAVEC hosted a workshop for all TAVEC students in preparation for our trans-atlantic student conference to provide tips and advice on how to succeed in virtual team-building, leading to effective (virtual) presentation skills. The workshop highlighted the importance of possessing a strong narrative voice- to leave the audience with a sense of change/movement. We all ended the workshop with a sense of surprise, interest and admiration for the depth of the issues and topics that each and every TAVEC student has accomplished, individually.
