Approach:

• Personal involvement is essential and will be requested prior and during the training. It allows a tailor-made individual concept for the group – as each group is different :

  • The participants will be asked to reflect prior to the seminar on their personal history / cases they could share with the others
  • The participants will be asked to send in some short resume on personal expectations and ideas.

• The group will start as a gathering of people who do not know each other but want to form a team pursuing a joint vision within the three days.
• Whatever theory will be discussed the team of participants shall live it, no matter what conflicts may arise.
• The seminar will be based on the personal topics of each member, the trainers will provide supporting theoretical concepts and accompany the whole team moving along what they call "the Process". As each team has a vision and a practical goal the team will arrive at what it was meant to learn and share with each other in these 3 days.
• Animation will vary from in front class demonstration, group work, role plays, physical exercises … but always: The dynamic topics of the team and its member will have always first priority !
