Instead, you will begin practicing the principles of this collaborative decision-making process starting in the first 60 minutes of the training. Instead of the trainers presenting us with our curriculum, we use the process to collectively decide the agenda and learning for the two day course. As a group, participants decide what combination of theory and practicum will comprise the curriculum.
Second, it isn't often a facilitation tool delivers on its promise. The success of the Deep Democracy method has been proven in a variety of situations including conflicting teams or groups, racial tension, change management and restructuring, counselling and in education. It stands testament to the power of inclusion and diversity in REAL and SUSTAINED CHANGE.
