Course Content

Full Programme

OBJECTIVES
The main goal of the course is to help teachers engage the students by participatory learning. The participants get familiar with the impact they can have on students by their active involvement. They learn how to build social capital that increases social and emotional learning. As our goal is also to encourage the participants to build learning communities in their home countries, they receive methods plans for their own use.​
METHODOLOGY
The course is designed as an interactive process with emphasis on establishing a learning community between the participants and the trainers. The focus is on experiential learning inspired by the Art of Hosting Conversations That Matter methodology. The participants also receive a workbook with sessions’ summaries and descriptions of activities used. Resources to deepen understanding and practice are shared for further study as well.
PROGRAMME DAY-BY-DAY
Training usually takes place between 9:00 am and 14:00 pm, followed by after-class activities, that are optional. 

DAY 1 
We start off with an introductory meeting, explanation of practical arrangements and presentation of the participants and timetable. The participants are encouraged to express their expectations, needs and wishes regarding the content of the programme and learning methods.​ *

Core participatory learning methodologies, definition and basic assumptions.
Innovation – moving through chaos into a new order.
From a learner to a learning community that learns​.


DAY 2 
Social capital skills, methodologies and practices – an overview
Circle practice: The Circle, or council, is an ancient form of meeting that has gathered humans in respectful conversations for thousands of years. In some areas of the world this tradition remains intact, but in some societies it has been nearly forgotten. Circling is a modern methodology that calls on this tradition and helps people gather in conversations that fulfil their potential and desire for learning via conversations or dialogues that replenish, engage, excite, and create wisdom-based change….which is real and sustaining learning.

DAY 3
Appreciative inquiry: Appreciative Inquiry (AI) is a strategy for intentional change that identifies the best of ‘what is’ to pursue dreams and possibilities of ‘what could be.’ AI is a cooperative search for strengths, what is known, what is right. AI focuses on the positive and strengths seeking to understand what is currently working as blocks and transform it to a productive future. This focus offers an opportunity for individuals to accept what is known and to build on what works, to successfully bring a long-term change and deep learning.

Half-day excursion. 


DAY 4
World Café: The World Café is a method for creating a collaborative learning conversations around questions that matter by innovating instruction in the classroom. Café is ideal for administrators to develop collaboration and co-creation with faculty, boards, and community partners.

DAY 5 
Open space: The goal of Open Space is to create time and space for participants to engage, ask questions, and/or share knowledge around issues of concern to them (such as review of an upcoming test, managing a project-based learning experience, planning a ‘real life’ field trip, etc). Using Open Space in classes can result in a transformative experience for the individuals and groups involved. It is a simple and powerful way to catalyze effective working conversations and truly invite participants to thrive and be in the role of leader, knowledge sharer, and questioner.

DAY 6
​Evaluation and farewell. 
Documentation and certificates of attendance.

* Some changes in the programme are possible - the content of the course is always adapted to the participants previous knowledge, expectations and requirements. 
​The participants receive the Informational Booklet a few weeks prior to the start of the course.
