conversations/meetings/groups, encouragement, information, feedback, developing
communication, observation and reflection

- embedding project into workplace programs and 'mapping to program needs and outcomes'

- invitations to engage other CB-A participants in each others projects

- using A4L research, workshops and 'reading' to inform project planning and implementation
