Training course is
opportunity to explore — new architecture
windows emblazoned with “births, deaths & marriages”
underground dungeon — three storeys high
lunch in the “judges’ room”
room without “real” light, fake air (humidified, cleaned, piped)
battlements buttressing windows
drone of voice, crash of computer — getting left behind
sunlight in chained, imprisoned
odd travellers thrown together as compatriots for three days
murmurs/mutters/stifled yawns — teachers become students
reminder of what dynamic teaching should be
