As part of a 'Working With Others' unit on the course, they also participated in a Wayfinding and team building exercise at Gleniffer Braes Country Park. Senior lecturer in care Maureen Macpherson said, "The group have gelled together really well and have worked hard throughout the year in terms of developing citizenship skills.
