What's different about it? How does it work?
- It's a unique experience that delivers lasting results

of sound management

- It is complex, safe and learning-rich
- It matters, because it confronts participants on an intellectual,
emotional and social level
- It benefits course participants, their companies, their business
and disadvantaged children

and chaos
- It deals with issues of leadership, teamwork, performance, quality, motivation, meeting clients' needs and resource management
How does it work?
Barton Training offers real-time, experiential learning in a controlled
environment. Participants run a residential holiday for a group
of selected disadvantaged children.
As the project progresses, the performance of the management team is analysed with the help of professional trainers. Team leaders learn first-hand which actions to take to increase all aspects of team performance.
