Training Report : July 16 & 17, 2008 : Facilitator Skills
Second two days session with Mr. Ikezumi has come. This time, each participant had an opportunity to facilitate 30 minutes session. For the facilitation, they could choose any topics related to this course which they want to share or discuss with the group.
Some participants chose daily topics such as “shopping” or “laptop”, while others chose topics related to disabilities such as “how to use wheelchairs” or “what is disabilities.” Some participants introduced ice breaking exercises to start the session or to change the mood in the middle of the session.
After each session, the participants gave a lot of feedbacks to each other. These feedbaks helped each one to improve their facilitation in the future. After all facilitations, the participants wrote down on papers what messages were conveyed.
For all the participants, facilitator skills were something new, but after four days session with Mr. Ikezumi, they now have some idea. The participants could learn a lot of important things from Mr. Ikezumi and from each other.
