Lisode is an accredited training organism which regularly organizes vocational training courses on group facilitation, on designing public participation in territorial development projects and on group dynamics. While these training courses allow us to transfer the knowledge we have gained in the field and to disseminate the results of our research activities, their main focus is on helping practitioners to frame and improve their practices. During our training courses we provide: - Knowledge: Theoretical knowledge enables participants to analyze their practices and position themselves within the vast disciplinary field of participation;
- Skills: Experiential training elements permits participants to improve their competences in the design of participatory process,group facilitation, and group dynamics intervention and master relevant tools and methods;
- Attitude: Participants realize and reflect on their personal approach to intervention by clarifying their underlying values .
The training courses offered by Lisode have a very practical dimension. Our ambition is to provide participants with competences that are directly applicable in the reality of their work. We use a project-based education approach, which means that we focus on problem solving and adapt to the needs and contributions of participants. The cases we work on during our courses are built on the real experiences of participants, analyzed in groups and then solved collectively. We use interactive methods such as role-playing games to let participants practice their skills in simulated real-life situations and to confront their knowledge with the reality of the complex social dynamics similar to the dynamics of the participatory processes.
