Imposing rules on participants leads to an ineffective and dissatisfying cooperation. We should instead share our power and enable participants to discuss their own rules and goals.

A training lives from its dynamics, from the spirit and the atmosphere that emerges. In this section you will get to know some methods of how to support a trustful, democratic and inspiring atmosphere in a group.

Trust, transparency and the right to disagreement

Trust is important because people should feel safe, especially in heterogeneous groups in which the feeling of uncertainty among participants and facilitators is normal and common. Transparency gives orientation. Only those individuals who have all the relevant information can participate in an optimal way. And for sure democratic learning environments give participants and facilitators the right to disagree with positions or statements. What else is helping your participants to feel safe to open twoard each other and toward the leanring process?

Three basic rules

We provide a STOP, discretion and disagreement rule as basic agreements on the working style.

Code of Conduct

2A seminar is an island and we imagine ourselves to be stranded on this island. Now we have to find our own rules.

Methods for Trustbuilding

Some methods mostly including body contact help to build relations among participants.

 


Name games and getting to know each other

You’ve already learned a lot about your participants through working with their needs and discussing the basic working principles with them. It is essential to a good working atmosphere that you as a trainer and the participants know everyone’s names and the right pronunciation. The deeper sense behind name games is that learners may interconnect independently of the teacher, that they build trust which is a precondition for deeper experiential learning later.

Name Games

Basic methods to support participants in remembering each others names.


First Evening

Some methods for a common first evening for a good start of your training.


Games for Getting to Know Each Other

As the title says: Games for getting to know each other.


Creative Hunting

An activating method for teambuidling.


Values in the Teamwork

This method initiates a deep and thorough discussion about the values employed in teamwork.
