Around 20 participants present
OBJECTIVE OF THE SESSION (WHAT DID WE WANT TO ACHIEVE)
Practice good practices
METHODS USED (ILLUSTRATE WITH IMAGES WHEN POSSIBLE)
Tat good practice; Who are you until now good practice; C2C good practice.
REACTIONS - OBSERVATIONS – EVALUATIONS: WHAT ADVANTAGES AND RISKS OF
THE METHOD HAVE WE FOUND?
The Tat good practice did not produce any surprises.
The Who are you until now good practice produced a surprising result. The mold of the first
participant was not predominantly followed. Probably this is due by the lack of peer pressure
resulting from the fact that the participants did not know each other before the gathering.
The C2C good practice turned out to be very confrontational for one participant – an EF
trainer – who found out that he talks more than he asks. The other participants found the
good practice (very) useful to start a conversation about a difficult subject.

information contained therein.
One – physically challenged – participant who acted as a senior advisor for the local police
was especially satisfied by the good practice. According to her she could – for the first time in
a long time – discuss her feelings of being excluded without arousing pity or displays of
affection but only encountering empathy.
ANY FURTHER OBSERVATIONS
There were more participants present that previously agreed upon with the conference
organizers hence the C2C good practice was not experienced actively by all participants.
