Lets do the Checklists!!

In the afternoon session, we have learnt about one important points that we have to consider when conducting an event which is making check list. In this session, the class was divided into three groups and each group was responsible for making different type of checklist namely, first group did the invitations checklist, second group did the venue checklist and the last group did a check list that needed for designing events/ programs.

How it got started????

The first day of the Moderation Training started with the introduction of trainer,Dr. Stefan Melnik followed by participants with an activity which helped participants know

each other. Then we had expectation sharing by participants:

Breaking The Ice in Four Languages….

How do you break the ice on an otherwise cold reception hall?

Teach them to say hello in different languages.

That is how the participants of the YLDA TOT on Moderation and Facilitation got to know each other on the first day of the workshop.

Participants $were given a chance to break the ice in the group to start the afternoon session and they enjoyed every bit of it by jumping and laughing and clapping.

The Hi..Hello..How Are You ice breaker is a getting to know you activity aimed at introducing oneself to the other participants and be more comfortable working with the group. The procedures for doing the ice breaker are outlined in the document below.

Go. Grab the formula on how to get to know new people…in four different languages!

The Anticipation of the Nominees

What triggers the passion and the interest of the Bangkok ToT’s nominees over this workshop is their undeniable duty to serve and protect the welfare of their organizations’ members. That is, to incorporate and hold activities that will hasten the growth and maturity of their members in terms of moulding their minds to the core values of their organization. The opportunity of being able to sharpen their ability to positively impact on the lives of their members is just one of the many reasons why these nominees have been anticipating in being included in such an event.

This workshop, as perceived by the nominees, is a tool for expanding their knowledge and experience on the field of event facilitation; thus, the concepts and ideas gained from this workshop will not only be achieved by the nominees, but the organization itself. This will be such a favourable event for each organization since the theories in facilitation will eventually be harnessed back to the organization through application and implementation.

The Bangkok Training of Trainers seems to be the perfect venue for member organizations and individuals alike to share together common passion on unearthing the capabilities of each member towards the goal of coming up with a unified approach in facilitation which effectively fulfils the vision of each activity.
