<P class=MsoNormal><FONT size=4 face=Garamond><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: Garamond; FONT-SIZE: 14pt">In order to teach the different components of The Genuine Contact Program, while naming it as part of the program + use the workbooks developed, you need to go through the program and finish the “train the trainer” which is the 5<SUP>th</SUP> component of the capacity building trainings. </SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<P class=MsoNormal><FONT size=4 face=Garamond><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: Garamond; FONT-SIZE: 14pt">Regarding Whole Person Process Facilitation – it is not Open Space Technology or a derivative of it. It is a different meeting method. My opinion is that it works from the same value system so, to me, it’s a great complementary method which I for example use in all of my trainings and in almost all my meetings that are not facilitated using OST. </SPAN></FONT></DIV>

OST opens it up wiiide while other methods may open a tiny space only... Actually most “traditional” meetings do, according to my opinion!</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
