3. How to create <strong>and</strong> keep attention <strong>and</strong> motivation:> > Make clear in the opening speech of the training that participants' particular needs are addressed.> > Make eye contact with the participants during the training.> > Address listeners directly.> > Use changes (in voice, gestures, position, visualisation, etc.).> > Be positive—emphasise solutions, not problems.> > Relate the topics to participants' backgrounds/realities.> > If you are aware that the trainees may be there involuntarily, make clear that you underst<strong>and</strong> their reluctance but show that their presence isappreciated. This usually clears the air <strong>and</strong> brings about collaboration.> > To keep participants motivated, consider using energising techniques <strong>and</strong> games before starting the session in the morning, after breaks <strong>and</strong>whenever you feel they need a break. Only use energisers that are suitable for your group in terms of culture, gender, age, social status, etc.98 <strong>Mediation</strong> Trainer’s Manual
