Target group & international/intercultural composition of the group & team

I was the trainer from the UK and the focus was for Afro-German young women. They were from different countries in Africa and from Germany.

Training methods used & main activities

Working with methods in non-formal education, the participants were led through a logical journey comprising activities covering all learning styles and supported by theories such as Edgar Dale's cone of learning; Stakeholder Solutions, Footprints in the Park and Secret Mission were some of these effective tools.

Outcomes of the activity

We realised all the objectives and the non-formal evaluation coupled with the written evaluation are first indicators that the training was a success. The outcomes will be posted on this website:
