Participating in the Gardeniser train-the-trainer course was for me an excellent starting point in my professional journey to become a trainer.
Among the things I most appreciated were the training method proposed, rooted in the context of non-formal education, the attention paid to detail by the trainers, and the atmosphere that was established among the participants. These were the basis for me to best convey the course content, which was treated with competence and the right depth.
The focus on positive and effective communication in a training context was what I appreciated most: the management of voice modulation according to the content, the thoughtful management of gestures and body language to express a message, the giving of time for reflection to take and devote the correct amount of time to everyone's contributions, the importance of feedback.
I also appreciated the opportunity for discussion in group work, in particular the common reflection on the trainer's toolkit made up of many small elements to be considered, such as the choice of environment, the pace of the exchanges and the choice of tools according to the training objective.
