Training opportunities

In Spring, London Metropolitan University’s Centre for Applied Research in Empowering Society ran a series of qualitative research methodology short courses, and were pleased to welcome Tower Hamlets staff to the sessions. We are aiming to continue them this Autumn with the next phase of one-hour lunch time weekly sessions which will build from the original sessions. The Spring sessions are available to watch.
