Training for professionals
Training can be developed for any organisation looking to generate more collaboration, teamwork or improve facilitation skills. I also offer specialist training for organisations working with young people or in education. The content is tailored to your context, from an intensive day to a course of several sessions.
Your training might include…
-
How to successfully incorporate play, crafts or participation into almost any setting.
-
Deepening skills for 1-1 relationships and creating the conditions for peer-to-peer learning within your organisation.
-
Games and activities to build trust and strengthen honest communication between people.
-
Expanding your comfort zone, working out where your areas of ‘stretch’ might be, and building confidence in the steps to get there.
Training can also be focussed on working with young people or in education. Including…
-
Exploring the balance of being ‘ourselves’ whilst in supportive roles. Looking at the importance of reflective practice and how to care for ourselves in these settings.
-
Taking a trauma-informed and non-violent communication (NVC) inspired approach to re-interpret ‘challenging’ behaviour in terms of the needs that lie underneath, and learning how we can adapt our approach to support to the specific situation of the young people.
-
Critically reflecting on the embedded power dynamics of a classroom or education space, and ways to empower rather than control young people.
-
Based around principles of social and critical pedagogy, here we go deeper into transforming traditional power dynamics and creating “classroom communities”.
