Participants may work individually or in small groups. Options for practice sessions include: A one-hour practice session at the end of a one-day training event, an extended two-hour practice session at the end of a multi-day training event, or multiple one-hour practice sessions during a multi-day training event. The facilitator should choose the format that is most beneficial to the participants based on needs and context. However, including at least one practice session is required during the course of any Faith for Rights training event.
