Train-the-Trainer Workshop on Participative Methods

Especially in times where our democracies might be challenged it is important for trainers and facilitators to have the right tools at hand to empower participants and motivate them to become active part of our societies. At the same time, new tools and approaches are needed to counter misinformation and conspiracy theories. In an intensive one-day training, EAB – in cooperation with two experts from the Berlin Institute for Participation (bipar) – wants to tackle these aspects and empower trainers and facilitators from all over Europe to grow their skillsets and have the right tools at hand for engaging seminars and session.
