A wonderful, human experience that opens the door to a great adventure. I can’t wait to dive right in. Mélissandre Bergeron – Employer – Service Canada
The group learning activities were grounded in the JLP’s experiential approach and allowed participants to hone their facilitation and communication skills. Materials from three JLP in-person workshops were used: Preventing Harassment and Violence in the Workplace, Understanding the Collective Agreement and Respecting Differences/Anti-Discrimination.
My understanding of facilitation has completely changed over the course of this orientation session. I now realize that facilitation is an art unto itself.. Sorelle Rayer Maneteu – Union – Service Canada
