traveling trainers

[Adam Blatner]

I was recently chatting with a trainer of psychodrama I know who travels to other 
countries or regions, and it occurred to me to pass some thoughts on to you as well.
       I imagine that many trainers might increase the effectiveness of their work by 
adding a component of positive networking. That would involve some or all of the 
following:
       1. Have and give out membership forms for national and international psychodrama 
groups or the IAGP. Say something about these groups, so that people attending can 
follow-up, attending future psychodrama or group psychotherapy conferences.
       2. Obtain the names of those attending---especially those who might want to be 
notified---and pass them along again to membership committees of national and 
international organizations, so as to generate an outreach potential.
       3. Mention or have a one-page handout designed that would include some of the more 
accessible websites for follow-up.
               a. Those that are in the language of those attending. Or /and their second 
language.
               b. (consider having IAGP-PD website, if in Europe, FePTO website; or other 
regional websites, plus Adam Blatner's multi-faceted website  www.blatner.com/adam/  )
       4. Perhaps mention some books that might teach in the language of the country being 
visited.

        The point is to help encourage the participants to follow-up on their learning.
          It might also be interesting for some international newsletter to record and 
announce that trainer X did workshop y on date (or approximate date) for group z with z' 
number of people.

         Hope this promotes more networking. Adam Blatner
