The program days include lectures, examples of organizational practices, group work, and discussions.
The training includes individual and group assignments; these consist of evaluating and discussing the issues handled during contact teaching and setting them within the context of your own work. The assignments will also help you to fine-tune your individual project work. A typical contact teaching assignment would be preparation for a reading circle that will meet during the contact teaching days. The purpose of the reading circle is not to refer to the content of the books, but to discuss any questions and ideas that are raised.
