Some comments from past participants on their key learning from the course;

• I learnt that our we should evaluate our training programme against ‘SO WHAT QUESTIONS’
• I learnt that our trainings should be clear on the change we want to see in the long term not just the short term
• I learnt that we are just facilitators of change, the real experts are the people involved in the situation/conflict. Sometimes they might just lack the tools or can’t see the situation with a different lens. Our task as the trainers is to facilitate this change in different ways.
