Introduction to the full DFT
While we would like everyone to experience values, it is our facilitators around the world who will widen the reach of values in the long term. Distance Facilitator Training is primarily in support of those away from access to Living Values Education group workshops and trainers, as in countries where Living Values Education representation does not exist or where travel to reach formal workshops is impractical. It is for those who desire to join Living Values Education in a formal facilitator role to assist others in their need for Values Awareness and their personal growth.
Joining Living Values Education in the role of a potential facilitator is a significant step in personal growth and absorbing new skills in interpersonal relationships. Helping others to find their values requires serious commitment. For Application and LVE Facilitator Training Overview and Schedule see Download - under Resources.
Level One, Part 1 and Part 2 provide the opportunity for the prospective participant to evaluate if they want to proceed to the full facilitator training. Undertaken over 12 consecutive weeks requiring a commitment of time, minimum 2- hours per week with personal interaction, requiring responsive action and recorded documentation.
Participation for the Distance Facilitator Training is by application with candidates being approved before allowed participation. Acceptance is not a given, requiring assurance from participants that this is a seriously considered and accepted initiative and that adequate time has been allowed in their lives for the 12-week undertaking. This assurance comes from viewing records of engagement with Level One, Part 1 and Part 2.
Certification as a Living Values Education Distance Facilitator is only available on successful completion within the 12-week time frame allocated. The Course is a composite of practical engagement booklets. Together, these aspects deliver all the techniques and skills required to feel confident to facilitate LVE activities and workshops using the wide-ranging LVE materials with community groups, schools in support of teachers, individuals, and families.
