Delegates sing the praises of UK PKP Conference | originally by the ICPKP Webmaster 4:51 PM, 27 September 2010 NZDT last edited 2:20 PM, 29 September 2010 NZDT | Delegates at the recent PKP 2010 Conference near Macclesfield in the UK had a fun filled two days of learning, playing and fine dining. The speakers included Dr and Mrs Dewe, Evelyn Mulders from Canada, Margie Donde from South Africa, Dr Sue Eardley, Stan Giles and Denise Gurney from the UK. 29 delegates came from Dubai, New York, and Bermuda, as well as all the corners of Scotland and England.
Andrew Thorp of Speakeasy talked about connecting with your audience, but the highlight of the closing afternoon was image consultant Cliff Bashforth who had us rolling around with laughter, and inspired us to get our image right, and Evelyn’s wonderful DVD of the entire event to round it all off.
Delegates left feeling inspired and re-connected with the PKP family and all were asking “when is the next one going to be?”. Everyone seemed to feel that they had new ways of thinking about PKP now, and that they could move forward with their own work, using the presentation skills and new language that they had learned. We all had such an enjoyable time and enjoyed one another’s company so much, that Denise Gurney is already looking forward to what she can organise for 2011 and 2012.
Ten ICPKP Faculty Members from 7 countries joined the UK PKP Conference at Macclesfield. Dr Dewe gave an overview of the exciting changes to the PKP Programme and how Faculty members without college facilities are able (from 2011) to teach the basic workshops and offer the Certificate Level IV programme in conjunction with ICPKP Australasia.
If you would like the text of Denise’s speech to start a discussion group in your area (as suggested by Margie Donde) about what we are doing in PKP, please email Denise.
UK PKP Conference 2011: 21-22 August. Set aside those dates today!
