Empowering Change Through Facilitation: Become A Facilitator; Help Others To Help Themselves

The focal point of the Action learning philosophy is Revan's original idea that mature people learn best 'with and from each other'. In Action Learning programmes the learning opportunity is provided by a specific task, a project that each participant agrees with their 'client'. During the process participants meet together every few weeks with a facilitator. The role of the facilitator is to encourage participants to share their project experiences and reflect on the outcomes to identify their learning needs. With the help of the facilitator and the other participants these needs are then converted into 'learning projects' thus providing an environment in which action and learning are linked thus providing participants with the opportunity to both identify and acquire the Knowledge, Skills, Experience and Behaviours necessary for them to achieve their project goals. Note. Whilst the book focuses on the Action Learning approach to Facilitated Learning all activities which have as their core purpose the goal of helping people to change their behaviour are facilitating learning. Thus AA, Weight Watchers, Stop (Smoking) et al and all coaching activities like Well Bring Programmes, Personal Training, Life Style Coaching, Sport of all types et al use the same underlying philosophy of Recognition, Decision, Permission and Action.
