• If we want to live in a world where we
are no longer afraid of difference the training must reflect
through the methods used the sort of world we are trying
to create.
• Each person is valued no matter what background they come
from.
• Training enables participants, through the methods used,
to truly listen and learn from one another.
• The methods used affirm the value of relationships built
on respect and trust.
• The training plants the seeds for further creative networks
and relationships beyond the actual training time.
• The process increases people's self esteem.
• People do not learn in an atmosphere of blaming and judging.
We seek to dismantle 'enemy thinking'.
• We seek to give participants opportunities to identify
common goals and values.
• There is no one right way of looking at the world. We
seek to give participants the experience of seeing the
world through others eyes.
• There is no one 'normal'. We challenge people to look
at the variety of norms within society and to see this
as enriching and not divisive.
• Training gives people the opportunity to find common feelings
and values and to build on these.
• Training is practical. Participants
learn skills and strategies that they can take out into
the workplace and their every day lives.
