Community

“It is an absolute pleasure collaborating with horizontal school. They are professional, adaptable, and exceptionally knowledgeable on online training methods. More importantly, they created a safe learning environment, in which they transformed a group of participants into a community that still shares resources and ideas till this day”.

“Tino and Marta are online magicians. This was the first time during the pandemic that I didn’t miss personal contact at an online event. What’s better, they also shared their biggest tricks with us to do so.”

“The course was a perfect mixture of theory and practice with two brilliant trainers. I really enjoyed the activities and the opportunities to practice and get valuable feedback from my peers. I got reminded of the importance of balancing between good preparation and the necessity to be open to the groups' needs. This stayed with me and helped me improve the quality of my workshops.“

“I was very impressed by our facilitators and I am sure that in my practice I will be more practical and to think how to make any element interactive and involve more and more participants. It surprised me to find out how many ways there are to involve participants and you don't need to use any difficult tools, so you can freely work with people who are not advanced in online trainings and seminars.“

“I learned the main principles of adult education and creating a safe and positive learning environment, as well as added great techniques to my toolbox. I learned how effective and motivating informal learning and facilitation could be, and I decided to give my students a similar experience. I co-facilitated a training for my peer mentors, which is a totally new activity and a huge step forward for me!“

horizontal school team listens attentively to our demands and tailors training workshops accordingly. Their trainers are highly professional and knowledgeable about the topics of intercultural dialogue, intercultural competences learning, conflict management and non-violent communication. We feel safe and well taken care of during horizontal school workshops. We would definitely recommend you as well to work with their team and trainers.

Das Trainerinnen-Duo der Horizontal School hat uns nicht nur das 1x1 der Facilitation vermittelt. Sie sind auch sehr spontan auf unsere Baustellen eingegangen: Eine öffentliche Veranstaltung drohte zu trocken zu werden. Nach einem kurzen Austausch konnten die beiden uns direkt aushelfen und haben mit uns ein passendes Format eingeübt. Genau so haben wir es dann auch umgesetzt. Die Veranstaltung wurde lebendig, abwechslungsreich und informativ. Danke an das Trainerinnenteam von der horizontal school!
