Participants’ testimonials

Mirabelle Morah

“When I got to attend the training, I thought finally! I’ll have an insight into how CXC hosts and facilitates such deep, powerful and meaningful summits. But I had no idea I was in for something more, the training guided me to unlock and understand unseen parts of myself. And these were aspects of myself that I needed to work on, to show up better for others. The Training of Trainers is unique and really resourceful, I think anyone who gets into this is really lucky and in for an amazing experience, not just for a few days but for a very long part of their lives.”

“The intentionality, expertise and care with which the CXC ToT was designed made it one of the most useful gatherings I’ve ever attended. The programme, the trainers and the incredible collective wisdom of the group have all contributed to my growth as a facilitator.”

Grace Swain

“Participating in the CXC Facilitation training was a remarkable experience that equipped me with a wide array of facilitation skills, including nature-based facilitation, neurodiversity inclusion, trauma-informed approaches, and more. Being part of a global community of changemakers was incredibly enriching, and I gained invaluable insights and knowledge, significantly enhancing my facilitation abilities.”
