What participants had to say...
“Very interesting. I enjoyed it - it
was theory heavy but I find this
useful especially when it comes to
planning and targeting outcomes.”
Educator, Co. Galway
“Sad to see it finished. I would have
enjoyed another 2-3 weeks. Tutor
was brilliant, patience of a saint.
Never felt worried to ask questions.”
Youth Worker, Co. Carlow
“Learn by doing, practicing - got all of your
information from tutor in webinar. Great to be able
to ask questions and to hear others’ questions. Peer
to peer learning and modelling facilitation through
the tutor.”
Youth Worker, Dublin
22“When people struggled we were all in it together.
You’d hear people struggling and making mistakes.
We laughed together. Then I replicated what
happened in the webinar when I brought it back to
my group.”
Volunteer Youth Worker, Dublin
“Expensive to travel. Didn’t need to
ask permission - so handy for me.”
Youth Worker, Co. Donegal
“Excellent. With other trainings a
full day of work is gone. You could
do an hour and then hour and
another hour. Very accessible.”
Youth Worker, Co. Wexford
“Materials all really good. When you’re in a busy week it
didn’t make you go “Oh, I’ve all this to read”. ”
