The document outlines the goals and approach of the GAC Facilitator Course 2011. The course aims to 1) be relevant and practical, 2) provide hands-on experience, and 3) give access to knowledge. It recognizes participants' expertise and supports interaction. Sharing ideas is like exchanging fruits where all parties gain new ideas rather than lose their original ones.
