The handbooks for facilitators, trainers, animators or other educators will be published as PDFs, ebooks and hard copies. They will be completed by additional working material and the content of the virtual toolbox. Grounding on our experience this attunement between print product and online source allows us to use the strengths of each media best. Print supports understanding of content more holistic and to develop a more precise story. The virtual toolbox allows more interconnection of content, more completing methods, involvement of third people`s experience, tips and links in an ongoing way.

 

#2 Holistic Learning

Planning experiential, inspirational and participatory learning processes.

Competencies are shaped best through processes that include a broad range of learning opportunities, such as incorporating knowledge, learning by doing, reflecting on specific actions, and cooperative learning. This allows for a conversation between self-driven activities and methods of facilitation that include participants and groups and all their diverse needs, experiences, and expertise.

In the series we introduce with this book a planning approach and the building blocks for such a holistic learning experience, and explore how “facilitation” adopts a different attitude from a classical model of teaching.

#1 Steps toward action

Empowerment for self-responsible initiative. Help your learners to discover their vision and to turn it into concrete civic engagement.

The starting point of any civic involvement is motivation and inspiration. Therefore the first chapters cope with how to support learners to identify their inner motivation for initiating social change and self-development. The instructor, trainer or teacher has a crucial role in this regard. Therefore we introduce the idea of facilitation - a supportive, inspiring and trusting in the capacities of the learners.
