This guide is for people who want to train others to facilitate Gender Equity and Diversity (GED) sessions – that is, in a ‘training of facilitators’ format. At the heart of the approach to facilitating learning around GED is the AIKIDO model of awareness, dialogue and action. The aim of the training of facilitators is not to build a cohort of ‘gender and/or diversity experts’, but rather a cohort of skilled facilitators who can provide the space and opportunity for people to become more aware of their own values, beliefs, assumptions and identities; to genuinely dialogue across difference in order to understand the other and then to explore what action might be taken together.
