In the past few months, COVID-19 and its subsequent impact was largely seen. Many changes happened overtime and the world got introduced to “virtual reality”. Though this was termed as the new normal for many, but the mantra towards empowering the deprived communities’ remained the same, i.e.; Effective Facilitation. The role of facilitators, evolved to new heights particularly in enabling grass root leadership even during the crisis by directly engaging, creating awareness and providing support.
However, the art of facilitation requires certain skills and capabilities. Only an effective facilitator with the relevant expertise can succeed to bring a change. Training for Social Empowerment Facilitators (T-SEF) therefore, is being organized in its most comprehensive manner, assisting the facilitators of change to enable the poor, marginalized and the vulnerable groups towards a more aware, inclusive and empowered life.
