Training for Transformation
The week-long programme entitled Training for Transformation will be particularly helpful for parishes and dioceses who wish to train personnel who can assist in responding to the needs of the faith community. Parish and diocesan pastoral councils, ministry groups, pastoral workers and catechists will have a particular interest in this programme as its primary focus is on pastoral development (A group from the diocese, parish or pastoral unit who could bring back and apply key learnings). There will be a particular focus on group skills, team development and discerning and responding to needs in the community. The methodology used throughout the week involves learning through group practice and peer feedback.
Training will be delivered by Martin Kennedy and Éamonn Fitzgibbon
