TRAINING SESSION DESIGN - Free Being Me



TRAINING SESSION DESIGN

EVENT: Free Being Me Training

SESSION 7: Free Being Me Activities: 7-10

OBJECTIVES:

• Understand the core activities and processes in 7-10 Activity Pack

• Experience leading the activities in a large group and taking part in sessions

• Receive feedback and support on delivery of all sessions

• Participants take ownership of the curriculum and are able to answer any difficult questions

NOTE: In this session we use again the guiding/scouting method of learning by doing and we offer a creative and engaging way to go through the core Activities of the 7-10 Activity Pack. We take a step further -after the 11-14 Activity Pack- and now participants will practice delivering the 7-10 Activity Pack in bigger groups of 12-20 participants which is closer to a real guide/scout group. This way participants can deliver activities and co-ordinate a big group and built on their facilitation skills and confidence. A facilitator will be responsible for each group which will meet in a separate space. The facilitators is there to support participants, to explain the activity if there is need, to provide feedback at the end and to coordinate the flow. The facilitator makes sure that participants use the right approach and follow the “instructions” from the Activity Packs. Participants are encouraged to use the support prompts (blue print) from the Activity Packs in order to explain to the group what they need to do and to facilitate the discussions among them. Remember participants in Free Being Me are encouraged to speak up and participate actively. This means that we need to make sure everyone has the space and opportunity to do so at their own pace.

Free room set up. Participants can sit in a circle of chairs or on the floor.
