At present nearly 450 persons have been certified after their participation in the DPC-Training of Facilitators. Participants of the 33 trainings so far came from very many different countries, from all continents - where just one came from Australia. The trainings have been given in 12 different countries.
As part of the trainings, which were offered, a "foundational course" was given, where the full mediation training wasn't part of the program. Due to reasons for time or participants, the program was changed into a training where the tools were applied in the way organisations can cooperate more productively. Most of the time this dealt with mechanisms to really validate the interdependence between groups and organisations.
This was also the entry-point for the many trainings in the place where most facilitators were trained: Antioch, CA in the USA - about 115 facilitators in this town and far more to come. As a result of these adopted trainings we now have 86 people who have been taught the DPC-cooperation skills and attitudes.
In the beginning of DPC we started with very few people, who were able to train. Now we have 12 associate trainers, 12 certified trainers and 5 certified trainers who also act as a coach for the associate trainers.
Most important however is the fact that facilitators report about the way they apply their learnings through DPC in daily life. It's life-changing and encouraging.
