'Learning is the process whereby knowledge is created
through the transformation of experience.' - Kolb
|
The aim of Actualize your potential: Facilitate! is to develop your Experiential Learning facilitation skills.
We take Experiential Learning (EL) as a process in which you can learn through experiencing non-formal education methods and reflecting upon your experience, extracting your own learning outcomes and finding out how to apply these in the future.
In this training course, you will acquire the skills to design and facilitate Experiential Learning workshops by creating innovative EL sessions and testing them on spot, getting feedback to support you in their future applicability.

program and methods
This training course is based on non-formal education and experiential learning, being highly participatory and interactive. The flow of the program is inspired in the Kolb-cycle of experiential learning: experience, reflection, conceptualization and applicability.
In AYP, you will be the creator of your own experience, guided by the facilitators and supported by the group. Your self-directed individual learning process will take place in a safe space and in a team-oriented and group-supported environment.
Preliminary program per day:
1: Creating a safe learning environment
2: Experiencing Experiential Learning
3: FTF Lab
4: Learning from experience
5: Debriefing experiential learning
6: FTF Lab
7: Conceptualization and Applicability
The Experiential Learning methods that we will use are challenge based learning, body expression and movement and game based learning along individual and group reflection and conceptualization processes.

Outcomes
The training course is a follow-up project of a successful series of facilitation trainings called Facility to Facilitate. Many elements of the program will be very similar. From previous experiences, participants stated:
|
“I started to work on my communication skills, discovering the different communications styles, learning about body language expression practices, challenging myself with the art of improvisation and, last but not least, feeling more confident speaking in front of a large audience.” - Fabio Catania, Italy - |
“We learned how to empower other people by empowering ourselves. We learned how to foster collaboration by collaborating. We learned how to facilitate by facilitating. It was a transforming experience where we learned by doing, playing and feeling. That’s why what we learned on the program we will never forget.” - Cristina Faura, Spain - |
“We learned the importance of facilitation on creating a safe space in order to nurture group trust and closeness. We all felt very close, and we could open ourselves to others more in one week than with other people that you know for years.” - Melania Forte, Spain - |
|
“Based on the theory of Kolb where effective learning is seen when a person progresses through a cycle of four stages: of having a concrete experience, followed by observation of and reflection on that experience, which leads to the formation of abstract concepts (analysis) and generalizations (conclusions) which are then used to test hypothesis in future situations, resulting in new experiences.” - Emese, Hungary - |
“I have tried on my skin that our body is one of the most powerful tools we have to reach someone’s heart and unlock it. I have learnt there is nothing bad feeling vulnerable, if you have the right people standing by your side. I have been inspired to believe I can allow myself not to be perfect, because we can always learn from our flaws. I have learnt I don’t have to bury my emotions and neither let them submerge me, but that I can try to transform them into greater strengths instead." - Mila, Italy - |
