June 14 & 15, 2006 : Workshop on Facilitator Skills

This is the second session on Facilitator Skills by Mr. Ikezumi. This time each participant was given half an hour to facilitate on free topic.

Interestingly each facilitation was very different from each other and all facilitators could evoke participation of everyone. After each session we exchanged frank comments to each facilitator, from which many lessons could be learnt.

Bhutan "Type of disabilities & what we can do for persons with disabilities"

Pakistan "Counseling to persons with disabilities ? role play -"

Malaysia "Down Syndrome, Cerebral Palsy, Autism and Learning Disabilities ? participatory lecture"

Sri Lanka "Sheltered Workshop"

Philippine "How to respond the needs of persons with disabilities ? case study"

Laos "Needs of persons with disabilities"

Cambodia "Vocational Training Center for persons with disabilities"

Before finishing for the day, Ms. Nakatani, JSRPD staff, held an orientation session on Individual Training and also on Akita Prefecture regional training.

Happy Birthday, Mr. Ikezumi!

To our great pleasure, we had an honour to celebrate Mr. Ikezumi’s birthday on the last day of his workshop. We enjoyed singing Happy Birthday in choras and we all wish him the very best.
