Resources for facilitators and trainers
Exercises and games activate our senses and increase creative learning of new concepts and understanding of ideas.
Who is it for?
The facilitation exercises support trainers engaged in participatory education. The exercises encourage active involvement in critically analysing personal experiences and contexts, leading to appropriate strategies and action plans. Using creative methods that promote dialogue, open-ended questioning and community building, the exercises aim to deepen understanding of power dynamics and intersecting systemic inequalities.
