The Magic of 7 principles is an experiential training course about 7 basic principles of efficient communication and satisfying relationships.
Our goals:
- diving into the 7 basic principles of efficient communication and satisfying relationships,
- experiential learning of communication and cooperation skills,
- exploring behaviour types,
- exploring the power of choice and comprehensive behaviour (W. Glasser)
- tools, tips, tricks and (life) hacks for efficient and meaningful work with youth
- while having fun on the way ;)
The training course provided a comprehensive experience to the participants, since there was more action than lectures. We learned best from our experience and indeed we did so at the training course! We only used experiential learning methods, dived deeper in reflection to see where our learning begins. On the go, we used techniques that supported reflective thinking, thinking out of the box, doing instead of thinking, explore topics, such as benevolence, active participation, solution focus, empowering etc. We explored different types of communication, tackled assertive behaviour and talked about equality in relationships.
Not to be so serious, we also intertwined humor as a tool that helps relationships flow softer. And we had fun on the way!
