BENIN:

ToP Facilitation workshop in Benin From 15 to 19 July, 2019.

ICA Benin organized a workshop focused on ToP training in Cotonou. Initially scheduled for our women groups, capacity building, it was extended to our staff and board members and sister NGOs. Entitled:”Facilitation methods, facilitator posture and visual power” it was a very active workshop. During the five days, participants and facilitators were busy. More than 25 participants attended the training from 15 to 17 July, focused on GFM, but only ICA Benin staff and board members and a few sisters members (15 persons) were accepted for the two last days, focused on Graphic facilitation methods.


Financially supported by ICA UK, the facilitation course was conducted by two facilitators from France: Lan Lévi and Nicolas Verdot.


Certificates of participation have been granted to all the participants. In order to continue training on facilitation methods, a Learning Community course was created after the workshop. The official launching of this initiative was scheduled for 16 August 2019
