Critical Reflection – sharpening the blurred edges
Few practitioners would doubt the importance of reflection, but in our fast-paced worlds we find ourselves pulled towards action. Facilitators are often ‘putting the brakes on’ so that decisions are better informed by critical reflection.
But what does critical reflection look like? Is there value in rumination and introspection? Or is this an overindulgence?
How do facilitators cultivate an awareness among groups of the cognitive and emotional processes that lead to greater professional competence and confidence?
In this workshop, we’ll take time (yes, take time) to consider how we balance thinking and doing.
The workshop will be participatory and we will use theoretical models models to guide our learning. Of course, we will also be guided by one another’s experience, so do come ready to participate in what will be a rich learning experience.

Theatre of the Oppressed, developed by Augusto Boal, uses theatre as a tool for social and political activism, conflict resolution, and community building. It’s a participatory art form where the audience becomes active “spect-actors,” exploring, analyzing, and transforming their reality through dramatic interventions.
The interactive nature of the theatre can facilitate discussions, provide space for different perspectives, and help participants find common ground.
More details on this session will be available here shortly.
Learning days are open to all AoF members, past and present, and also offer a ‘taster’ for those new to AoF who wish to work and learn in a collaborative environment and discover what we do.
