This course is an opportunity for NGO trainers, educators and facilitators who face the challenge of designing and developing educational cycle for one group which is more complex and longer than two meetings, each at least two days long (group is working more than four days all together).

Most of the trainers and facilitators participating in ToTs or trainers’ school learn how to design and prepare a training –  a form taking from few hours up to few days. In many cases and educational fields one meeting is not enough, we need to designs educational process which needs to have a form of a cycle consisting more than one educational method (training, project group, one to one consultations, coaching etc).

Trainers and educators participating in the course will have the opportunity to learn what are the specifics of longer educational process comparing to single training. During the course we will answer strategic questions: how to design longer educational process, what are specific needs of participants in longer process, how often people should meet, what other forms of education should be design, what are the specific challenges in longer process and how to deal with them, what kind of regulations should be developed, how to boost participants’ motivation, what kind of online tools and application are useful and how to use them during the process.

Participants will have the opportunity to gain new knowledge and exchange their experiences and examples of good practice with other trainers and educators.
