Tip #469: Second Train the Trainer in Jordan- Day Five

This is a continuation of my discussion of the fifth day of the second train the trainer I conducted in Amman, Jordan.

At lunch, I found out that some of the participants in the other two rooms had ended up lecturing- although their peers lovingly pointed that out.  I won’t know until I see the videos from those rooms. I don’t know if  the facilitator had the individual and others discuss what the “lecturer” could have done instead to make the lecture into an interactive activity. I sure hope they did.

Watching Videos in Translation

If not, I’ll definitely have that opportunity. I promised to review all of the videos from the two other rooms and send my feedback to each participant. At least, that’s my plan. We’ll see how successful Maha and I will be. She needs to translate while I watch them so I know what is happening. Maha is also going to have to translate 10 lesson plans that were submitted in Arabic. These are from both rounds of training.

Since this was the second train the trainer, at the close of the session, I didn’t have enough bottles of bubbles. I had them blow up balloons and bop them around to music instead.

Gifts and Hugs

At the beginning of the day, Rozi gave me a beautiful banana leaf closed basket. At the end of the day, Maysoon gave me a beautiful scarf (just like the one she was wearing) and showed me how to wear it. Sawsoon gave me a lovely card.

When we gave out certificates, some of the women hugged me. They also gave me kisses: one on the left side of the face and two on the right side.  One man held his hand to his chest. He smilingly explained that he didn’t touch other women, so he couldn’t shake my hand. This was the one who had been upset by the triune brain activity.

After the training, four of the young women came up to me. They told me that their participation in the training had changed their approach to training. It has also changed their approach to something else. They were all now wearing colorful clothing (which I had modeled daily)!

Three people gave me their cards. They told me that, if I had the time, they would like to take me around Amman to see the sites. What loving, generous people!

Finally, we packed up everything . I went back to the hotel to completely collapse. Then I sorted through three large suitcases to start packing them properly, and finally pack for the trip to Petra and Aqaba.
