SI-PASS Fika
Following the success of bringing Supervisors together on zoom, the Leader Festival and the pilot FIKA in November, the European Centre for SI-PASS (Lund University) is pleased to announce SI-PASS FIKAs will become a regular monthly feature for supervisors and leaders. (An SI-PASS FIKA is an informal get together over a cup of coffee/tea and a cinnamon bun (last item not mandatory). The FIKA is free of charge and provides a chance to talk about SI-PASS related issues or just have a chat with SI-PASS friends). The next FIKA will be on Wednesday 21st of April at 2-3.30 pm UK time/3-4:30 CET. The meeting is online (you don’t need to register) with English as working language on the following zoom-link: https://lu-se.zoom.us/j/4630658731 . The theme of the FIKA will be “ways of rewarding Leaders for their work”. But other topics are welcome as well. If you want to suggest another topic just send us a mail in advance to si-pass at stu.lu.se<mailto:si-pass at stu.lu.se>. We would also like to invite people to try out a short online activity related to SI-PASS during the FIKA. In our preparation of Leader training/debriefs and such we might want to test a new activity and see how it works. If you have an idea of such an online SI-PASS activity you want to have feedback on in the friendly setting of a FIKA – please mail us about it.
Upcoming trainings (For more information and to register please visit our web-site: www.si-pass.lu.se/en<http://www.si-pass.lu.se/en> )

If you have colleagues that would be interested, please tell them to send an e-mail to us to si-pass at stu.lu.se<mailto:si-pass at stu.lu.se>

We are delighted that the first two online Supervisor trainings in January and March were successes with positive feedback from the participants. The last supervisor training this spring is also fully booked, but the registration for three autumn trainings (5-8 of October, 25-28 of October and 23-26 of November) will soon open up on the European Centre for SI-PASS web-site www.si-pass.lu.se/en<http://www.si-pass.lu.se/en>.
Besides these initial Supervisor trainings there are now three different additional/advanced supervisor trainings open for registration. The additional trainings are based on feedback from you as Supervisors and supplement the initial training. The trainings will be held in English and address the following topics:
· SI-PASS online. This training has been developed in response to COVID-19, but It is anticipated that many will continue to run a mixture of face to face and online SI-PASS. Therefore this workshop will explore ways to translate the model into online settings and the tools, techniques and strategies used.
· Quality Assurance SI-PASS programmes. It is essential that SI-PASS programmes have quality processes in place. To supplement the SI-PASS Supervisor training course this interactive workshop provides laser focus on the variety of quality assurance mechanisms to maintain and enhance your SI-PASS programme.
· Designing and Developing Leader training. Whether you are new to Leader training or you have been delivering training for many years, this fun and interactive workshop will facilitate sharing of practice, designing and refining SI-PASS Leader training.
The schedule for the additional Supervisor trainings during spring 2021 is as follows:
· SI-PASS online: 22-24 March 2021
· Quality assurance of SI-PASS programmes: 4-5 May 2021
· Designing and Developing Leader training: 14-15 + 17-18 June 2021 (four half days)
