About the course
This short series of 3 online seminars is ideal for people who are new to Healthy Streets or who have some knowledge of the Approach but want to cover the full breadth and get up to date with the tools.
This course requires no previous Healthy Streets training, technical knowledge or skills. It is suitable for anyone with an interest in how streets are designed, managed and used.
The format is three 2-hour lecture-style sessions using powerpoint slides. There are opportunities to ask questions and take part in online polls but this is not required, primarily the sessions are for you to listen and take notes. Participation is not mandatory and attendance at all sessions is not required. Usually the sessions are held at the same time each week for three weeks and hosted on Zoom.
The sessions are not recorded and the slides are not shared after the course. There is no accreditation associated with this course i.e. no badges or certificates issued to participants.
The content of this course is not repeated in the more-in-depth Foundation or Designers courses, it is complimentary.
