The time you see in this page, if you have set your time zone correctly, is the time in Argentina. This means this webinar will take place at 6:00 am ART (Argentinian time).
Kind regards,
Lucia

"The course helped me tremendously in updating my profile and filling in all those bits I didn't know..." Read more what to do with. After the webinar, I was motivated to work on my profile for another couple of hours--which is saying a lot, since I was up at 4 a.m. in my time zone to attend the course. However, I feel the title of the webinar doesn't suit the contents. "Meeting" has a proactive connotation in my mind, and the course title is much more intriguing than the contents. But, of course, a website is passive in nature, so we do what we can. The course helped get me oriented and inspired, and it also helped me confront some thorny issues in my own self-presentation that keep tripping me up. I'm very grateful for that. Thank you, Lucia!"
