This week-long training provides experienced DCFs an intensive opportunity to explore
facilitation techniques in-depth with other intermediate and advanced facilitator participants.

designed to challenge their level of community facilitation skill, knowledge and experience.

exploration of facilitation technique, personal style and community-building philosophies. Peer
group support and advanced critique are an important aspect of this training.
