In our workshops, we are moving from training orientation to facilitation. There is lots of arguments about the superiority of training on facilitation and vice versa. There are merits and demerits of training - facilitation processes.
The biggest difference between training and facilitating is
the difference in the ratio of learner involvement vs. trainer
involvement. A facilitator's only job is to get the
participants to explore for answers to issues that matters them through fertile dialogues. The facilitator provokes the participants and lead them to find answers to their conflicts. While leading the facilitation process the facilitator stays outside the conflict and do not make any judgements on the opinions floated. The group come to a decision and the facilitator reinforces their learnings
