Hello everyone!

Today the input for the blog article comes from two lovely ladies, who have recently participated in one of my trainings and have kindly agreed to share their experiences with you.. enjoy! 🙂

Two days were hardly enough to pack it all in! Birgit got straight down to business with a constellation, setting the scene for our NCP Academy training on moderation of large groups at the Austrian Research Promotion Agency FFG in Vienna. And we took it from there – completing a series of interactive moderation techniques, always combining consideration of the context and the target audience with practical knowledge. A mixture of theory and practice kept everybody interested – and active!

The two days of training went very fast with no dull moments or any low points.

Birgit and BusinessMind were the obvious choice for the NCP Academy with Birgit’s long-standing experience in training and moderation of National Contact Point networks and organisations and we liked the appropriate group size (16 on this occasion) and attention to detail. Birgit’s pre-training preparation was faultless, with several trainees primed to lead training exercises throughout the course.

The inclusion of real events was a bonus, allowing us to use the brain power in the group to take home some detailed plans. And the weather helped, culminating in a ‘market place’ on the roof terrace! It’s hard to beat such a training environment.

World Café for experience exchange on FFG’s terrace Even a market place took place on the terrace! Elements of event moderation were presented at the market place Finally, what will participants definitely implement?

Our thanks to Birgit for an action packed training session. We’re looking forward to some very creative events from the NCPs around Europe.
