The Middle East and North Africa Evaluation Network (EVALMENA) General Assembly 2022 is taking place on the 6th, 7th and 8th of May in Lebanon. Professional Development workshops are taking place on Friday May 6th.

In this 4-hour online session you can learn about preparing and facilitating a dialogue between two people, helping them to really listen to and understand each other and identifying actions they can take. You will learn how to prepare yourself so you can be equally supporting both sides, and to create a safe space for them to have a dialogue that is not about blame and defensiveness, but about really understanding the needs of both. You will have the opportunity to practice your new learned skills and to reflect on challenges you might have faced when you tried to facilitate or mediate before...

In this 3-hour online-session we will focus on our own feelings and needs. We will try to understand what keeps us from addressing the person and why we might not be able to just close this chapter. We can learn how to deal with our emotions involved and get clarity about our needs and next steps. This session can give us insights that make it much easier to approach the other person. Or it might even happen that after this session you don’t feel the need to address the issue with the other person anymore because you have ‘sorted this out’ in yourself.

In this 2-hour online-session we will discuss the signs of conflict escalation and what makes it difficult to act. We will also share tips on how to de-escalate in different situations. And we will look at how to take care of ourselves and others during (or after) such incidents. This can also mean letting go of self-judgements about how we ‘should have reacted’.

Have you ever struggled giving or receiving feedback? Do you want to communicate your suggestions with more ease? Could your team be more successful if people shared their opinions more openly? Do you have enough of people speaking behind each other’s back instead of talking directly to each other?

In this session you can learn to understand yourself better and come up with strategies that can really meet your needs.
