SUMMARY:Dynamic Groups\, Dynamic Learning
DESCRIPTION:Dynamic Groups\, Dynamic Learning – Creative Teachers\, Facilitators and Group Leaders course\n\n26th April to 1st May\n\nThis exciting and magically transformative professional development course is offered and hosted once per year in Robin’s home community of Crystal Waters Ecovillage. You access all of her training resources and enjoy the very best catering from experienced community cooks in a fantastic triad of venues.\n\n\nThis course equips people with the understanding and skills of what is ‘best practice’ and leading edge learning\, group work and facilitation methods through immersion and practical hands-on experiences. \nemail Robin – robin@dynamicgroups.com.au\n\n\nRobin’s annual and much appreciated creative teachers\, facilitators and group leaders six day residential intensive course will be held from 26th April to 1st May. \nRobin often gets asked the question “Is this an appropriate course for me as I haven’t done any teaching or facilitation and I’m just starting out. Will I be out of my depth?” \n \n  \nIn response\, the 6 days build skills and experience slowly\, so everyone is on the same page with the foundations\, methodology and culture of group work and learning. There’s enough new or cutting-edge information to keep experienced teachers and facilitators engaged and adding to their notes and tool boxes. In fact\, all contribute to the shared learning for all\, and this grows over time together. One trained and practising teacher gave the feedback about a 2-day Intro version of this course\, saying\, “I got more out of this weekend than my whole teaching degree. \nAt the same time\, it also supports people just making the first steps in group work and presenting on any topic. It provides many creative and interactive learning tools and processes\, along with confidence and planning skills\, and helps people step out of a more conventional lecture- or PowerPoint-style of presenting and into developing creative\, effective\, and inspiring sessions\, programs\, meetings\, and events. \nPlease don’t be shy to ask for a Concession place\, Payment plan options or more information. \n\n\n\nCrystal Waters Permaculture Village\nwith Robin Clayfield\nwww.dynamicgroups.com.au\n\nDetails on the poster or FB group here\n\ncontact Robin robin@dynamicgroups.com.au\n\nHere’s a link to contact Robin by email to enquire or book \nAnd here’s the FaceBook Event with lots of details \n
