Active Listening & Coaching

A resource kit about Active Listening - how to support young people on developing their ideas. It also covers the GROW Coaching Model to help Agents take their ideas from vision to action. Although this resource kit was first developed for Peer Mentors, it would be a useful read for facilitators and producers too.
