educational seminar

Instructive group session

An educational seminar is a structured meeting or session focused on teaching participants about a specific topic.

Unlike lectures, seminars typically encourage discussion and interaction: The company sent managers to an educational seminar on workplace harassment.

Seminars may last anywhere from a few hours to several days, often featuring expert presenters and hands-on activities.
