Value and Virtue Conference Feedback
I liked the
mix of practical V’s theoretical sessions
All keynote
addresses were first rate and directly related to the conference
theme, which spurred much discussion and meaningful conversations
within the sessions
The ethical
basis of the topic and the way the conference was
conducted
Range of
speakers, different levels of research experience
Keynote
presentations by Julian Stern and Philip Mudd
The seminars,
wide range of people and topics. The atmosphere set by
YSJ
Networking,
time away from the hurly burly. Listening to
ideas
Chance to
reconnect. Engage with new/existing ideas. Having keynotes – maybe
a panel session at the end?
Networking,
International perspectives
Friendliness,
staff and delegates
Jean McNiff's
keynote address. Adrian Klos' presentation. Philip Mudd's
talk
The safe,
friendly environment to share and speak. Supportive and
informative
Meeting new
people and hearing different voices
Meeting other
people with shared interests
The rich
conversations. Reconnecting with people from last
year
I like all the
plenary sessions, especially on the topic of
publication
The organisers
hospitality, dedication and willingness to help
delegates
Variety, cross
cultural interests/case studies
I really
enjoyed the structure, variety and level of learning that was on
offer
International
flavour. The whole concept – a place to think about values in
practice
The variety of
themes dealt with from different parts of the world. Reflecting on
my own practice
The
friendliness of colleagues who were willing to welcome
me
Julian and
Jean's keynote. Inspirational and thought provoking. Philip’s input
was practical and very useful
The networking
which took place
Julian’s paper
setting the scene for the conference
Friendly and informal. Time
enough to get to talk to participants in the
breaks.
Friendly atmosphere,
constructive feedback offered to speakers. Lovely location, helpful
staff.
Friendly, positive and
encouraging atmosphere.
I enjoyed all the sessions
very much and also meeting and talking to delegates. The
organisation was very professional and it was all thoroughly
enjoyable.
It was a great learning
experience. The atmosphere was very positive and supportive and
wonderful to meet people from all over the world sharing same
values and aims in life but working at very different
projects.
Good to have this mixture of
keynote lecturers and panel sessions.
Meeting other institutions
similar to Sheffield Hallam and seeing that for them ethical issues
are firmly embedded into their work.
Networking
Opportunity to hear from and
meet other people who are working on action research
projects
Opportunity to network
Friendly, secure atmosphere
The exceptional organisation
of it.
The interesting spread of
subjects and people who attended. Working with a range of
disciplines, and nationalities. I like the conference being a small
group of people as it allows for engagement that is impossible with
much larger groups
The keynote
speakers.
The opportunity for people to
present their own ideas and views about issues.
The topics and presenters in
all the sessions I went to were exceptional. I learned a great
deal.
Well organised, friendly and
thought provoking. Thank you.
