Overview

LEARNING EXPERIENCE

In each module in this course, you will be presented with 3-4 key ideas or concepts to learn and explore. You will then have the opportunity to play and experiment to problem solve during facilitation.

You will share with other learners in this community your experiences and reflections. You will also be able to ask for and provide feedback to other learners to create an open culture of learning, borrowing, co-creating, building upon others work and reshaping. The end of each module will have prompts to apply the lessons to the facilitation projects and to reflect on the learnings of the module.
