Very often the best source of training content is the group of participants themselves. However, asking the group to "talk among yourselves" results in chaos. A way to enable effective sharing of best practices among cohorts is to use an effective combination of structure and spontaneity. In this webinar we will explore a special type of training activity that facilitates mutual learning and teaching among participants. We call them structured sharing activities, because they provide a flexible strategy that creates a context for a dialogue among participants based on their experiences, knowledge, and opinions. We will share several structured sharing activities, and we will give you the resources to develop more.
