Do you believe that learning is an organic process (and not a mechanical one)? Does learning demand an ongoing engagement with oneself, to be able to relate with the immediate environment and consciously respond to the socio-political and cultural reality? Is participatory facilitation crucial in supporting and enabling a learning process for change?
What then is our role as facilitators in creating meaningful learning situations for groups and communities? How do we plan enriching learning opportunities? How do we design, adapt or adopt tools, exercises and methods that provoke a critical and creative thought process? We invite you in this learning journey! Registration on first-come, first-served basis.

facilitating participatory communicationFive-day Residential Workshop
|
What do we understand by social change? How do we understand groups & communities? Are we adequately prepared for a paradigm shift in enacting social transformation? How does the nature and extent of participation influence communication processes? How do we define participatory communication?
What is facilitation? Can dialogue lead to reflection, action and enrich learning? How do we facilitate empowering processes with children, adolescents, youth, women, persons with disabilities...? Is there a scope for creative engagement with communities that are experiencing and shaping processes of social change? How to collaboratively design tools, methods and processes that groups and communities can own, access and control? |
