Many of us feel lonely at times. Feelings of loneliness are personal and everyone's experience will be different. You may only feel lonely at certain times or experience a deep feeling of loneliness that goes on for a long time.

You might have a lot of social contact and still feel lonely, especially if you don't feel understood or cared for by the people around you. Communication with others might be online and through social media and an illusion of connection could mask the loneliness we feel.

You are welcome to join our hour-long webinar, to explore aspects and understanding of loneliness and share suggestions and ideas that could help in addressing and managing the times when we feel lonely.

This workshop is the second component of a three-part programme, which is designed to be completed in the following order:

1. A self-paced online module containing information on the Cambridge supervision system and introducing the principles and practices of effective teaching and learning, which must be completed before attending this workshop.

2. This in-person workshop that incorporates personal reflection on teaching practice, design of learning activities, discussion of real teaching scenarios, a chance to discuss and ask questions and access to practical information about organising and carrying out your supervisions.

3. An optional follow-up session for those who wish to explore further after gaining some supervision experience.

Please note that everyone new to supervising undergraduates at Cambridge must complete this course: both the online module and the workshop (or equivalent face-to-face training provided by your Department or Faculty).

Bookings for all workshops will close two days before the workshop to give you time to complete the online module ahead of the workshop.
