seminar
What is the difference between a "seminar" and a "workshop"? Thanks.

The words are quite similar and are often used interchangeably. However, my experience is that seminars tend to be more informational or lecture style presentations with maybe some small time set aside for discussion. To my knowledge, seminars almost always cover topics that are specialized or professional.

My experience is the same as CPeters'.
In a seminar, each participant may speak on a particular topic while the others listen. Except for the speakers, the experience is mostly passive.
In a workshop, everybody works together, most often in teams, on practical exercises, and then each of the teams makes a short report to the whole group. The participants are much more
