Overall, the class was very effective and enriching. As formators, it is important to create a nurturing environment where formands can explore, grow, and transform. Continual self-reflection occurs while attending the class. Above all, this course effectively meets the needs of a formator.

The facilitators have a high level of competence and know very well what they are talking about. They were able to respond to questions by participants. The daily synthesis that they do is really helpful.
