📣📣📣 CALLING ALL FIRST YEARS AND FIRST TIME COMPETITORS 📣📣📣

Never competed in a skills competition before? Confused about the difference between negotiation, mediation, client interviewing and witness examination? This is the weekend for you!

The Skills Sandbox is a two day, low-stakes learning experience designed to introduce first-year students and first-time competitors to UNSW’s Internal Skills competitions. Rather than a formal competition, the Sandbox focuses on practice and confidence-building across witness examination, mediation, client interviewing and negotiation in a supportive environment. Across the two days, students rotate through interactive workshops and simulated rounds giving first-year students the opportunity to try new skills, ask questions, and learn by doing, without the pressure of being scored or ranked in the actual rounds. The Skills Sandbox is also a great chance to meet other students and find potential partners for future competitions.

📅 Saturday 11 April and Sunday 12 April
⏰ 10:00am – 5:00pm
📍 Location: Law Building
