This was a very interesting presentation about how a group of youth workers and teachers are trying to turn their VCAL courses into something that is more individual and more flexible and yeah.
They used a snail called John as their little test dummy I guess for this presentation showing us how they are trying to do this new way of teaching VCAL students and how they are making it more individual and flexible.
 
Afterwards I intervied two of the people running this just to get more of an idea of what was happening.
