Factory of Change | Training Course | 24-29 April 2012 | Poland


Training course which aims at creating a space where participants can explore: the role of change in their life, how do they respond to change and how to support young people in the changes they are facing.
Our intention:
Creating a space where participants explore:
- the role of change in their life;
- how do they respond to change;
- how to support young people in the changes they are facing.

Our assumptions:
- When we are aware of how we deal with change, we can better respond to changes young/other people are facing.
- Change happens – the question is how we deal with it.
- Change affects us on all dimensions of life (spiritual, physical, emotional, cognitive).
- We are part of the change that we experience.
- Change is an opportunity to learn.

Qualities of our approach:
- We are process-oriented.
- We facilitate the space where different needs may be responded to.
- Whatever happens in the group may be the potential source of learning.
- We aim at creating the safe space (we share our intentions and assumptions, we are attentive to each others’ needs).
- We use diversity as a resource.
- We intend to learn from the change happening “here and now”.
- Holistic (we facilitate learning being aware that people learn in many different ways).
