In module 1, vision on CE and characteristics of appropriate CE didactics are central. We first discuss what the organization and what you yourself want to achieve with CE.

With each participant there is a short online/telephone intake interview.

Module 2 focuses on the design of CE. What are the possibilities to get information on the needs of professionals? How do you design CE in concordance with the needs and characteristics of professionals?

Module 2 consists of a meeting and workshop assignments in which there is room for personal learning goals, working on the preparation or the design of your CE, individual coaching and collegial consultation

Module 3:
Module 3 focuses on supervising CE. Which guidance style fits the needs and characteristics of professionals? What difficult situations can you encounter in CE groups and how do you deal with them?

Module 3 consists of a meeting and workshop assignments in which there is room for personal learning goals, working on your guiding style for CE, individual coaching and collegial consultation.
