There is much to be said for this kind of rotating, on-going interactive workshop format -- each one has had its own character and "vibe". The people who apply to come to the workshops are willing to step outside their disciplinary boundaries and experiment with new ways of working together and I consider both of the workshops I have participated in to be successes on both counts. The items below give a flavor of both the apprentice activities and an educational unit that came out of the workshop.

Of course, in real life, a great many examples can be found for each characteristic - but for this concept map I have chosen one document or image to represent each 'R".
