Step Up Consulting Services assisted the Municipality of Jagna by training 20 municipal government employees as facilitators. The training, entitled Facilitating for Development, intends to equip facilitators with the necessary skills in facilitating participatory community development sessions.
Facilitating development in communities is a crucial process that entails maximum preparation on the part of facilitators. As distinguished from training, facilitation involves not an instructive approach in bringing about learning from individuals but a bottoms-up approach in drawing conclusions based on participant’s knowledge, feelings and experiences. Facilitation, as a process entails a lot of listening, not only to verbal but also the non-verbal cues happening at group processes and requires appreciation and not judgment of participant’s responses. The training covered these theoretical grounding.
Participants expressed appreciation to Step Up Consulting Services team for the efforts in making the training enjoyable, productive, and enriching. The firm handled content as well as administrative arrangements for the total three-day training.
