11. There has been a good amount of feedback thrown by the
survey, thanks for your collaboration!
We are now certain that the topics we have planned to cover are of
interest of most participants. This gives us a green light to start this
Learning Alliance.
With your suggestions, we will make some adjustments to the
module outline to cover the topics you are more interested in.
It is encouraging for us to know that the learning alliance knowledge
will help shape practices, promote debate, and feed research and
policy making! We are happy to contribute to these goals.

active engagement in the following
discussions!
