Training for trainers

During Easter 2009, 28 participants from 11 countries came to the town of Kamenice nad Lipou (situated in the south of the Czech Republic) in order to improve not only their facilitating and communication skills but the way of work in their organisations and among the YEE network members as well. In almost 5 days participants had the opportunity to learn more about team roles and teamwork, facilitation, giving and accepting feedback, reflection, presentation and others. They also tackled the topic of intercultural learning and enjoyed for example the "proxemic dance" while learning about the personal space of others. In several working groups participants created (in very limited time) inspiring photo-stories on different topics which you will soon be able to see in the photogallery.

As the TC was held during the Easter, participants also invented and performed some exotic Easter rituals...Many interesting performances were created and we hope that the participants enjoyed the opportunity of practising the teamwork, splitting tasks and cooperating in this way.

YEE hope that participants gained useful knowledge and new skills during the TC an that they will encourage their team mates or colleagues to share a better working atmosphere and support their working teams back home in better communication and cooperation.

You can see pictures of facilitating methods, intercultural learning, etc. from the TC here.
