My second day in Indonesia was spent in travelling to Jogjakarta a large City with manyuniversities. On the third day I presented the Aussie Optimism workshop. Thisworkshop attracted 40 participants who ranged from psychologists, clinical psychologists,developmental and school psychologists, teachers and two paediatricians. We completedtraining in both Optimistic Thinking Skills and Social Life Skills. My language skillswere stretched as I attempted to greet the participants and introduce myself in Baha’iIndonesian. However, after this I had three very capable translators to assist me ingetting the Aussie Optimism messages across to the participants. I thank Josephine,Oliver and Astrid for their assistance.The mean overall rating of the workshop was 4.00 (5-point scale), indicating a “good” to“very good” level of satisfaction. All participants rated the workshop as either “average”,“good” or “very good”.Unfortunately we were not able to conduct the pre-test. However, the data table belowindicated the feedback responses.
