EOW SCHOLARSHIP: FACILITATION TRAINING PROGRAM 2017, funded by EyeOpenerWorks, sponsors people who are working in education – related field, especially staffs of training department in a company, professors of universities, teachers, trainers of schools, skills centers, NGOs and youth leaders to develop skills in training and education in a non-formal way. With experienced trainers from Holland and Vietnam and an active, international environment, you will have a precious chance to learn how to become a good facilitator to leverage the resources of group members. All EyeOpenerWorks active learning interventions are designed and developed to be participatory and engaging. Our approach is built upon learning by doing and appreciative inquiry. Instead of telling people what to do, we engage them through active participation in exercises, games, simulations and real-life experiments. By asking questions we tap into existing wisdom and build upon what is already there. EyeOpenerWorks pays significant attention to reflecting on its training exercises, allowing participants to share the lessons learned and apply their insights to real-life situations.

EyeOpenerWorks’ Facilitation Training Program focuses on:

• – enhancing facilitator skills
• – designing attractive and participatory training courses
• – developing easy-to-use and effective curricula

Objectives of the program

Being a facilitator of a session is one of the most exciting jobs one can have. Participants in your session signed up being very curious about what they can learn or contribute. They hope for an inspiring and fruitful session that broadens their minds. They anticipate a session where they will be motivated into action… Now it all comes down to you to create a great session! Their diversity in hopes, challenges, levels and personalities makes your task even harder. Are you ready for the challenge?
It is up to you to create an environment that is conductive to learning; to create a safe space where people are willing to share what is really on their minds; to build an atmosphere that challenges the participants to go beyond their usual patterns. How do you do it?

We work on a basis of learning by doing, which means you can expect to practice, gain valuable feedback and experience how you can develop your weaknesses and build on your qualities such that you can find your true voice as a facilitator.
In this training for facilitators , you will learn to understand and influence group-dynamics, design top-notch programs that keep the energy up, create a personal vision on the meetings you are facilitating and learn what it is that makes sessions worth your while.
