Advanced Training of Trainers for VIPP
St. Ulrich, Black Forest
Germany
7 to 11 June 2010

This training of trainers programme is a specialised workshop for experienced trainers in the development sector from Asia, Africa, the Americas, Australia and Europe. It is designed for those who wish to progress beyond the basics of VIPP and who want to improve their trainer skills in developing and designing their own training projects. The workshop is open to a maximum of 15 trainers and facilitators.

This workshop will emphasize on the following areas:

• Advanced facilitation and presentation skills which enhances group qualities, synergy and output; including attitudes, behaviours and values of the trainer
• Repertoire of VIPP methods and tools used in training
• Reflection on the intercultural dimensions of group events
• Visualization skills using various media, including cards and charts, drawings and graphic representations
• The logic and processes involved in training events especially especially in the context of learning styles and group dynamics

In this training of trainers we will combine short visualised inputs, individual tasks, group work, team cooperation, learning by doing, and constructive feedback.

Key concepts, quality standards and training formats will be developed by all participants.

A cooperative working style will be encouraged. Good group dynamics are recognized as essential parts of learning and practicing.

We aim to use a variety of senses, and both cognitive and emotional components, during the training workshop.

An invitation to all facilitators of group processes

The publishers of this website invite users to send in their experiences in applying VIPP. Best would be short descriptions of about 400 to 500 words with two or three good quality, digital photos which we can have the rights to use. Send captions and photo credits needed. It would help a great deal if both positive and negative experiences are included in your contributions.

You are also invited to discuss issues related to participatory VIPP processes at our Community of Practice, see below:
