Workshops and programme
Session Title | Facilitator | Session Information |
Stress and Health |
Josue Muderhwa |
We are all familiar with stress, it’s a fact of life. With the rapid pace of modern living, it feels increasingly difficult to keep up. Sadly, the negative effects of stress are widespread and growing. Our stress response is triggered when we are faced with overwhelming demands. The demands can be large or small, but it’s the importance we attach to them that decides their impact. Important pressures we feel incapable of coping with result in stress, and prolonged exposure to these reactions can have an impact on physical, emotional and mental health. Most of us feel “stressed out” at least once a month, and the majority of visits to doctors, and days off work, are for stress-related problems. But stress also can grow slowly and go unnoticed, or ignored, for years. Lack of time, information and motivation can cause it to build up until something breaks under the pressure. |
Icebreakers, the need for lively sessions |
Materne Bossou, |
To have and keep the attention of participants in a meeting, training, conference, process, the facilitator must make use of Icebreakers. |
Your talent your DNA |
Augustin Mirimo / Josue Muderhwa |
Your talent is the ideal form conceived by God to represent your being in his success and happiness. Not to know it is to miss out on your dream destiny. For some, Your Talent, Your DNA is a book that will give you the opportunity to discover your talent. For others, the possibility of identifying the principles and tips that can propel it for its development and optimal communication. With captivating style and illustrations referring to contemporary talent, the author leads you to identify your talent by touching the important disciplines of personal development through the following steps: Imagination and Association, Natural and ordinary, Existence from what existed, Rare of what is hidden, Empty of the half full and Details of details.

Facilitation a learning by doing through a coaching and mentoring approach |
Kofi Kumodzi |
We all know that adults learn by doing. But how do we facilitate this learning by doing, weather in the workplace or during a training session? Come and practice key games and enjoy 2 hours of fun and learning to enhance your future sessions. |
Analysis Paralysis? Getting to the Next Step. |
Gillian Chambers, |
When working with groups it’s often hard for them to make a decision and work out what should happen next after a meeting or discussion. They talk through some of the issues and challenges but don’t get to the point that helps them decide what actions need to be taken, who should take them and in what timeframe. In this highly interactive, practical session, participants will learn two simple tools to help groups take the next steps to lead them to action! |
The journey to becoming a professional facilitator: (Story telling as a facilitation tool) | Kofi Kumodzi Togo |
Most facilitators become facilitators without any specific training or educational background in facilitation. What then give them the legitimacy to be called facilitators? How do they become professional facilitators? Every facilitator can tell his/ her story and share with other his/ her personal journey to become a professional facilitator. This session will provide an opportunity to participants to share their stories and come out with a generic perspective so as to define the journey from school/ university to the statutes of a professional facilitator. During the present sessions, a special facilitation tool (story telling) will be used to enable participants to see the potential of this approach. |
