I really think that getting some examples on programmes you may worked on or are familiar with as well opinions from the group would be really interesting, surely helpful and much appreciated. Also, another element that I would like to look at is the integration and use of ' new' and digital technologies on those programmes if possible, so please let me know if you have something in mind related to that. I would really appreciate your responses. Looking forward to hearing from you.
