Caboose

I spent the past week on a VSO training course at Harborne Hall in Birmingham.

Back in the summer I attended the Preparing for Change and Volunteers and Development courses. This time it was Skills for Working in Development (or SKWID), 4 days of learning about and practising facilitiation skills, conflict management and similar things.

Like the previous courses, it was quite good fun, although pretty tiring. Most days ran from 9am to about 8pm with lots of activities which left no opportunities for snoozing at the back of the room. What really makes these courses are the other people on them, another really good bunch on SKWID, mostly heading out to Malawi.
