We used energizers, ice-breaking, teambuilding, role play, visits, non violent communication exercise, conflict styles market&Abigail story (salto tools), Forum Theater, project planning, Erasmus+.
The training was very successful, the evaluation showed that participants increased of more than 80% their competences in mediation, group dynamics and conflict management, plus they learn about Restorative principles, values and justice.
I followed the project application and the communication with partner, in the first cooperative designing of the proposal. Then I designed the workshop with the other trainers, choosing activities from Salto or inventing some, as the topic is quite new. I also helped in the evaluation of the team, organization of the training and final report.
