About the webinar
Participants will look at a variety of intervention styles, when and why to use them and their potential impacts. The talk will draw on the Teaching for Success materials as well as research done on mentoring, such as the "Six Category Intervention model".
The session will quickly set the scene and give a few examples before discussing some scenarios and inviting the audience to choose which intervention they think would be best.
The intervention styles include authoritative intervention types (prescriptive, informative and confronting) and facilitative intervention types (cathartic, catalytic and supportive).
These should be thought of as complimentary as opposed to contradictory and give those working in the field a practical and researched approach to facilitating development activity.
