The SGC Organizing Team will offer a dedicated SGC Moderators Workshop for successful applicants to ensure that moderators are fully equipped. In addition, the workshop is designed to provide valuable training to improve verbal and written communication skills, as well as leadership abilities and collaboration strategies, which are essential for effective moderation. Participation in this workshop is mandatory for all moderators.
