We believe in the fact that each group is different and this might be challenging. Different conflicts can occur and could lead towards an uncomfortable learning environment. To be a facilitator sometimes requires a lot from the person who is doing it. Trainings can take a lot of energy and it might be helpful to save up time for refreshment.
The aim of "Zoom in TC" is to overcome on participants’ dilemmas, conflicts within or related to groups, and to reinforce the learning possibilities of each training situation by providing different techniques and methods. This training course deals with previous experiences when it was not easy to be facilitator and to turn it to a constructive learning experience. "Zoom in TC" is not an introductory overview about facilitating group learning procces thus invite
facilitators, trainers with experience.
Objectives:
* to increase awareness about group dynamics and group learning
processes
* to understand difficult situations and learn how to deal with them
* to provide tools for facilitation
* to support participants’ development as facilitators.

Methodology:

about understanding and analyzing the role of the facilitator with participants´real case situations. Also it gives an opportunity for participants to get to know new tools to facilitate group learning processes and to learn from others.
