Project ECHO

There are a number of different ECHO networks, which are run by 'hubs'. Each network has a different theme, which you can find under 'Join a network', below.

Project ECHO methodology

The approach used is called ‘all teach, all learn’. During each session participants share their experiences, discuss best practice and work together to solve problems. Each ECHO network sets its own curriculum depending on the needs of the group.

Every session has a trained facilitator to help ensure everyone is equally heard. This means participants can all learn from one another, regardless of their experience or context.
 
ECHO sessions are free and take place via Zoom.

The ECHO Model's Four Key Principles

• Sessions are 60-90 minutes long. 
• A topic expert delivers a 20 minute teaching session followed by discussion. 
• Participants then discuss issues they face or experiences they’ve had relating to the session topic via 1-2 ‘case presentations’. 
• These allow participants to work together to solve problems and learn from other professionals in their sector. 
• Sessions can be recorded and stored with additional resources on an online library. This is accessible to registered members.

The programme curriculum is co-designed by participants and the ‘Hub’ team.
