Our philosophy is that you should always let the best trainer work with a group. And that is not necessarily a trainer from the Centre itself. For example, when abroad, due to the language barrier, we prefer not to provide training directly to the target groups themselves. We then choose to train trainers in our Share to Connect method, so that they can work with the target groups themselves.
The Train the Trainers trainings are regularly organized abroad (Palestine, Morocco), but can also be set up elsewhere on request. On average, these intensive training sessions last 10 to 14 days and we often attach a practical assignment / internship to them. All our training courses are tailor-made, so contact us for more information.

Storyteller and actor Stu Packer tells stories to entertain, educate and enchant. Based on more than 25 years of stage experience, where he first heard of 'Being Present', Stu dares to share the personal stories from his heart. He therefore finds it a particularly great privilege to be present when others, with or without his help, share their stories.
