This workshop is part of the 2017 MTA autumn conference, taking place at Plas y Brenin and is worth 1 CPD point. Designed for overseas expedition leaders but also relevant for Duke of Edinburgh Supervisors and those leading long-distance treks in the UK and Europe, this workshop gives individuals specific tools for managing and leading expedition teams through interactive sessions and scenario based examples. It is suitable for prospective/new leaders as well as for established leaders who want to develop their skills and share their experiences of both youth and adult expeditions.
