1. Joint preparation of the next day together with participants (at least 2) and trainers

They should organize the music, negotiate the timing with the hotel staff, obtain the necessary items, etc.
5. Additional tasks – energizer, cleaning up, taking care of refreshment breaks

Experience
"Usually 2 participants attended the joint preparation of the day on equal conditions (eye level). That turned out to be a very good method and we recommend it a lot! Participants were facilitating the presentations of the day."
