Aims and objectives
The training course will build on the experience of the delegates attending to help us all to become better teachers, facilitators and managers. The team of trainers will encourage and stimulate participants to reflect on their own experiences, learn from colleagues and return home with fresh contacts and renew confidence and competence. The course is geared for those with considerable experience in later life in diverse settings as well to those relatively new in the discipline. For those who have attended any of the Cyprus seminars the last 5-6 years, this training programme will be particularly invaluable in allowing further reflection, evaluation and sharing on how those participants utilized and benefited from the training. The breath of the experienced and interests represented in the seminars are a key strength which allows all participants-trainees and trainers to learn from the utilize.
