Training of Trainers in Dialogue
The Training of Trainers is a course developed for facilitators of the NCPD approach to Dialogue who are interested in teaching other people how to facilitate dialogue.
In this training you will deepen your understanding of the theoretical foundations of the NCPD Approach to Dialogue methods and explore the values and competencies needed for being a trainer.
You will learn how to design and implement a training program and get time to practice your skills. The course will also dig deeper into the pedagogical grounding and values of NCPD methods, ensuring that you are able to convey this to others.
Course methodology
Our participatory and interactive method ensures a dynamic learning experience. While the training includes a few lectures, most of the time you will spend on group work, practical exercises, and peer reflections. Structured feedback from the trainers is an essential part of the training- forming an environment of learning by experiencing
Participant Commitment
As part of the training applicants must conduct at least one training session (2-3 days) on Public Dialogue or Dialogue and Conflict Transformation in their community, organization, or institution. This will be followed up by online supervision from Nansen trainers before and after the training, online meetings with the whole group and a closure online session. Certificates will be awarded upon completion of the whole commitment.
Participation in this training requires that you have attended at least one out of:
- Introductory course ‘Dialogue in Conflict’
