Notes on Workshopology

- Oceane Patiny, Luc Patiny, Olivier Emery, Gustavo Santamaria, Rachel Aronoff, Roger Erismann, Vanessa Lorenzo, Sam Sulaimanov.
- Needs to be broken down by topic.
- Best would be to have 2 workshops a month for the 6 months of the winter (October-March) -> 12 dates (each workshop can happen twice -> 6 workshops.
