Experiential workshops may entail a form of resistance by the participants as, in order to be successful, their active participation is required. Thus, if the participants are a bit distant, a couple of ice breaking activities may be required, however every experienced trainer know how to deal worth such situations. Furthermore, some concepts presented may need more details in order for the participants to achieve the learning outcomes and that is why the additional resources are provided by the partnership.
