About the Event :

 As an extension to the “Make 21st Century Core Skills Your Choice” workshop, this workshop will provide participants a hands-on experience of ‘Critical Thinking and Problem Solving'.

Participants will discover the following key features of ‘critical thinking' by progressing through the experiential cycle, which are solving non-routine problems and questions, considering different perspectives on issues, evaluating evidence for and against different positions and understanding the deep structure of issues.
