FRIP Level 1 Workshop

From today until next Sunday, another FRIP Level 1 Intense Face-to-Face Workshop is taking place in Thessaloniki (GRE). 21 participants from across Europe are participating in this new workshop to get the FIBA Instructor Level 1 certificate.

The participants will complete the process that they have been going through over the past months via FIBA iRef Accademy Learning Platform on diverse fields of expertise such as: "Teaching & Learning", "Basketball Knowledge" and "Refereeing". Led by a panel of experts, such as Simon Kirkland (ENG - Teaching & Learning), Patrick Hunt & Peter Lonergan (AUS - Basketball), Albert Joseph (FIBA) & Carl Jungebrand (FIBA Head of Refereeing), participants will also count with the presence of Davorin Nakic (FIBA Referee Manager Europe), Petri Mantyla (FIBA Referee Operations) and Louise Faye (Competitions & Officiating Senior Administrator Europe).

The 21 participants will work in different exercises and lessons, focused on:

• Understanding the key elements of a positive learning environment.
• Understanding that people learn in different ways.
• Understanding inter-active techniques and when they should be used
• Understanding the principles of planning a session

We wish all of them a successful last part of their training and an enjoyable opportunity to meet (again or first the first time) colleagues and friends.
