1. Joint preparation of the next day
Together with participants (at least 2) and trainers. Facilitators can invite participants to the evening sessions each day, where they incorporate feedback into the planning processes and plan the next day with the larger facilitator team.
2. A public event organised by the participants
If there is a public event, you can let the participants assume full responsibility for its planning and implementation.
3. Daily evaluations led by participants
Participant(s) and a facilitator could prepare together an evaluation session. The facilitator proposes methods and questions for the evaluation of the day activity (also explaining goals and how the methods work). The participants develop the plan assisted by the facilitator and facilitate the session.
4. Goodbye party planned by the participants
Ask participants to plan the goodbye event. They should be in charge of reporting the expenses and keeping the receipts for the payments their purchases. They should organize the music, negotiate the timing with the hotel staff, obtain the necessary items, create a programme if they want etc.
The participants and/or participant teams may be in charge of coming up and carrying out the daily energizer activities, cleaning up the training space, organizing the refreshment breaks, offering voluntary cultural activities...
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."
