FACILITATOR QUALIFICATION

“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 joined the facilitation training quite spontaneously and I didn’t regret it! It made me realize how much my inner attitude matters as a facilitator. The conversations with practitioners working in different fields were the most valuable thing for me. It was also amazing to learn from experienced facilitators who each have their own style. I think the training has made me more confident and shifted the way I approach events – plus all the fun and practical tools I learned.
Thank you, horizontal school!"

"Marta and Tino make a brilliant team, delivering an exceptional learning experience. Their facilitation style fosters a nurturing atmosphere that encourages curiosity, risk-taking, and active participation. The course was engaging and informative, offering a wealth of practical examples that reinforced the holistic learning concepts. I am excited to implement what I have learned in my daily practice, confident that the skills and knowledge acquired will benefit both me and those I work with.
Overall, I would highly recommend this course to anyone seeking to expand their understanding of holistic learning!"

“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!“

" I've joined the Facilitator Qualification Course to learn how to apply the principles of facilitation to project management: How to make team meetings more effective to reach the goal? How to engage partners in a deeper way during online meetings? How to allow emotions and feelings to be part of the conversation? Those were just a few of the questions that brought me to horizontal school and I have to admit they have all been answered, and the course is not even finished yet!
One thing I have particularly appreciated is the way in which the online course is designed: attending each session taught me far beyond the content itself."

"I'm the founder of an initiative in Turkey called Komünite Bodrum.
With this role, I found myself facilitating many beautiful community sessions, organizational development meetings and also learning journeys of our community. That is why I wanted to learn more about facilitation as a qualification. To me the most important gain of the facilitation training is my confidence in facilitation as it provided me competences, methods and tools!"

"... In NVC Trainings, I don’t see the trainers using online tools much. I am preparing an online teachers’ training where I want to support teachers not only with NVC skills but also with online tools and experiential learning practices. In this perspective, the blended Facilitation Training helped me a lot. I am trying to implement some of the activities I experienced in this training to the teachers’ training I am designing.
Thank you so much for everything and especially the motivation, energy and aliveness of our lovely facilitators Marta&Tino."
