**Due to current social distancing rules, this workshop will most likely be held as a live webinar. You will receive a message on the Monday prior to the workshop confirming if the course is held in person or as a live webinar - depending on the latest social distancing rules and the number of attendees. Please refrain from spontaneous enquiries asking for the delivery method beforehand as the added administrative effort to reply to everyone individually is huge. We hope you understand!**
