Course Manual and Reflective Journal
The Course Manual will contain the content of the course. In some cases the content will mirror the On-line Course and in others the two will compliment each other.
Participants will be required to preread the content for that evenings session. This is to maximise the practical skills learning in the sessions.
The Reflective Journal will be the core means of reflective learning for each participant and will be their main core competency for their future peacemaking life.
Therefore there are five levels of learning:
On-line Course: Introduction to material plus initial exercises.
Manual: Second engagement with material.
First Session: Integration of content.
Second Session: Practical Application of integrated learning.
Reflective Manual: The thread of Reflective Learning throughout the course.
