Learning transfer goes beyond acquiring knowledge - it’s about applying insights within complex professional ecosystems. This interactive session introduces visual landscape mapping, a tool to situate learning within work environments and uncover actors, resources, relationships, and opportunities for applied learning. Experiment with analogue and digital mapping approaches to explore how knowledge is used, shared, and integrated over time, and leave with strategies to translate learning into meaningful practice.
