LEADESHIP Program:
Forming the Facilitator
A multi-stage program focused on formation and professional learning for adult formation.
This multi-stage program is aimed at developing the leadership skills of staff within EREA schools and offices for formation design and facilitation. It is targeted at staff who carry a responsibility or passion for the transmission of the Edmund Rice spirit, vision and values amongst the staff and parent community, and are interested in further developing their capacity to plan, design and facilitate meaningful and effective adult faith formation.
Through a train-the-trainer approach, the program involves a 2.5 day in-person residential program, as well as the opportunity to co-facilitate a regional day of the A Call to Participation formation program for new staff.
In addition, this program will deepen participant’s understandings of National EREA Story and Context, the Formation Framework and its associated Formation Design, and will explore their application for staff formation planning and delivery.
Prior participation in at least one of the National Formation Programs is a pre-requisite.
