While your group will often say that the best part of their experience with you will be the activities, just taking part is not always sufficient to ensure that learning has taken place. This is especially true of young people.
A great way to reinforce what your group has learned is to conduct a short debrief or review of what they experienced at the end of your class, session or training program.

- Simple, non-traditional methods which invite sharing and discussion
