EEE Italy 2015 – DO UT DES – give to receive!
At EEE there are not conference themes. The people who come shape what the conference is about, under the broad and flexible banner of ‘experiential learning’. Our belief is that everyone who attends (whether ‘new’ or not) has something to share that others can learn from. This means that the workshops are provided by participants. There are no paid speakers.
ATTENTION PLEASE! Feel free to offer a workshop even if it is your first time at EEE. To propose your workshop you need to complete the signig up process. For your inspiration check the workshops offered last year at EEE Poland.
Here you see the workshops proposal for EEE Italy 2015:

| Stephanie | Püttker | Respectful Behaviour from an Intercultural View: Orientation for Facilitators | I assume that most of us would consider their general approach as facilitator or coach as respect-oriented or benevolent and that all of you could give me a list of examples of appreciative behaviour. But what impact may our behaviour in all conscience have on training participants or coachees from other cultures? My workshop offers active and theoretic spotlights and reflection on cultural dynamics and dimensions with the objective to rise the awareness for our own and foreign ways of behaviour (as facilitator) and to give you some stimuli and orientation to wider your own interpretation range. |
