Facilitator Training - 2025 Living Values Education Distance Facilitator Training - DFT

 

• Become a fully trained LVE Facilitator and watch your own life change for you.
• Creating a Values-based Atmosphere in our work, our school, home and in our personal lives.
• Undertaken Independently, No Cost. A Personal Journey intrinsic to the Living Values Approach.
• From a review of the Level One assignment, the participant, if required, may request a DFT Mentor for support and evaluation of progress.
• On completed participation in either the DFT Offline (no internet) or Online Course, (internet required) our Geneva NGO status offers three certificates.

Level One - This three-level, 12-consecutive, 12-week requirement to do in your own time (an hour or two per week) is an intrinsic aspect of the Living Values Approach and Values-based Atmosphere. By recording your responses to the assignment questions, you can easily enter your findings, creating a record of your experience relative to the Values you interact with. Your interaction with each Value can be as in-depth as you would like, allowing you to open up to the questions asked.

Level Two engages the heart of Facilitator Training, providing the elements of practical training drawn from the LVE Training Guide book, as well as the extensive educational materials offered freely on the website, and an interface with the life-changing Value-based Atmosphere. The more you know about the delivery of LVE, the more you have opened yourself to its values, and the better service you can offer.

Level Three – Only essential for those not used to working with groups in the LVE Facilitator role. Optional for others. This Study Group training aspect of the Course offers LVE Study Group Guidelines and practical LVE Delivery Skills over a 12-week Level One experience, unlocking personal development in values in a small group environment. This additional 12-week course earns a Living Values Education Study Group Facilitator Training certificate.

Level Four - Distance Facilitator Training - LVE Mentor Certified Course - the perfect way to become integrated into Living Values Education and join the Online Training Centre's international management and administrative team of ALIVE - The Association for Living Values Education International, our Geneva-based NGO organisation.

In March 2025, the LVE OTC commenced the 12-week ONLINE LVE Distance Facilitator Training (DFT), building on the previous success of the DFT. This initiative creates an educational assignment-driven Course that will appeal to educational authorities, schools, universities, teachers, and parents worldwide.

• The LVE DFT Course is available to anyone on an approved application. There is no cost at this time.

Living Values Education Distance Facilitator Training - DFT

The original full-certificated course has enabled individuals to play a role in sharing Living Values Education. The Course continues to offer the composite practical engagement with Living Values Education Self-Reflection, LVE Values Activities, and Living Values Education Study Group. The LVE 'Training Guide' provides all the techniques and skills necessary to feel confident in facilitating values activities and workshops using Living Values Education approach materials with community groups, schools, families, and individuals.

This Course supports individuals who do not have access to a computer and can be completed using the LVE workbooks provided in Word document format, which are shared via WhatsApp. All booklets are in a simple brochure (half A4) form and can be printed locally.

Note: The Living Values Education certificated course is not for everyone. We encourage those who want only the personal benefits of Values Awareness in their lives to undertake the Level One free downloadable Distance components, which are available on the website: Living Values Education Distance Self-Reflection and Living Values Education Distance Values Activities.

Introduction to the full DFT

While we would like everyone to experience values, it is our facilitators around the world who will widen the reach of values in the long term. Distance Facilitator Training is primarily in support of those away from access to Living Values Education group workshops and trainers, as in countries where Living Values Education representation does not exist or where travel to reach formal workshops is impractical. It is for those who desire to join Living Values Education in a formal facilitator role, assisting others in their need for Values Awareness and personal growth.

Joining Living Values Education as a potential facilitator is a significant step in personal growth and acquiring new skills in interpersonal relationships. Helping others to find their values requires serious commitment. For the Application and LVE Facilitator Training Overview and Schedule, please see the Download section under Resources.

Level One, Part 1 and Part 2, provide prospective participants with the opportunity to evaluate whether they wish to proceed to the complete facilitator training. Undertaken over 12 consecutive weeks, requiring a commitment of time, minimum 2  hours per week, with personal interaction, requiring responsive action and recorded documentation.

Participation in the Distance Facilitator Training is by application, with candidates being approved before they are allowed to participate. Acceptance is not a given, but it would be beneficial for participants to understand that this is a thoughtfully considered and well-received initiative, and that adequate time has been allocated for the 12-week undertaking. This assurance is based on the records of engagement with Level One, Part 1 and Part 2.

Level Two, Part 1 and Part 2, provide the LVE Training Guide materials for Facilitator training with aspects relating to practical application of Values education in the classroom, business, home or community, with delivery techniques, workshop agenda building, and LVE website review. Time req 4-6 hrs.

Certification as a Living Values Education Distance Facilitator is only available on successful completion within the 12-week time frame allocated and practical engagement of Level Two. The Course is a composite of practical engagement booklets. Together, these aspects provide all the techniques and skills required to feel confident in facilitating LVE activities and workshops using the wide-ranging LVE materials with community groups, schools in support of teachers, individuals, and families.

Distance Facilitator Refresh - DFR

• Certification renewal opportunity for lapsed certificated Living Values educators.
• Undertaken Independently, No Cost.

We value the energy and enthusiasm with which you have embarked on the Living Values Journey. We want to ensure that you stay involved with LVE, and this Course is a simple refresh and opportunity to update you on the changes taking place while allowing you to recover your lapsed certification.

Just four weeks easy ONLINE refresh, start anytime - designed to support past LVE and DFT accredited Facilitators, Focal Points and Associates with ALIVE you if you have previously been certified with Certification for one of the LVE training programmes and have not reported your activities for a period of 24 consecutive months or, you have not undertaken any LVE activity for 24 months which means that your certification is deemed invalid.

The purpose of this simple NO COST Refresh Course is to reinstate previous LVE and ALIVE certification for a further 2 years. 

The combination of each aspect of the course is designed to ensure that the facilitator at certification is fully equipped to resume delivering LVE activities at their previous level of Certification. We would like to renew your acquaintance with the LVE Approach and organisation, introduce new resources available to you that we believe you will benefit from, and refresh your confidence in delivering Living Values meetings and workshops.

 

Distance Community Study Group Facilitator - DSG

• LVE Training and Guidance to deliver a Value-based Atmosphere into the community.

For those who have already received their DFT Certification, this training provides the knowledge and ability to apply the learnings from their own DFT experience to the Community, offering the LVE Approach - a Values-Based Atmosphere in small groups to parents, children, friends, associates, and family.

You can use some guidance to promote the community group meeting concept and to administer and deliver the LVE group activity. The two-hour LVE Study Group meetings, which typically have four to ten members, take place over 12 weeks, exploring one value together each week. Based on the DFT, the Group engages in the same format as initially undertaken by the facilitator. Through the group environment and unwrapping the assignments together, the values open us up to enjoying the discovery of common ground, personal introspection, and friendship. 

For the casual creation of an LVE Study Group in your community, you can download our 'In-Community Study Group Guidelines' booklet here.

Living Values Education Model Schools - The Living Values Approach

• For schools seeking to have students and faculty grow together in a Values-based Atmosphere.
• Level of Participation is negotiable - levels one, two and three. How far are you and your school willing to go?

For whole schools that aspire to become a Living Values Education (LVE) Model School, the criteria are in place to help them adhere to the model. We provide guidelines for schools to implement the Living Values Education Approach effectively, maximising benefits for students, teachers, and the school community. Those schools seeking to add a new dimension to both their faculty and student body can see the immediate effects of the LVE Approach when Values Awareness becomes the benchmark for whole-school behaviour.

Through OTC, ALIVE provides educational training packages for teachers, administrators, and LVE educational resources, including books, display materials, evaluation, and innovative inter-student mentoring programmes.

Three optional add-on Courses are available to educational institutions working towards Level 3. Whole School Living Values.

1.  LVE Parenting - online collective workshops designed to suit the local school environment and bring LVE into the students' homes.  When both teachers and Parents align with a Values-based Atmosphere, Love arrives and Fear departs.

2.  Bringing Tolerance and Respect into the school - "Students for Change" is a new Module where older LVE-trained and certificated students become mentors and prefects for the younger students, easing the responsibility for teachers. To deal with personal issues. 

3.  Widening the Reach: Reaching and Supporting the Whole Community - building the bridge between school and the community. 

4. Is our environment in trouble? Could you bring this to the attention of the young people? LVE Caring for the Earth and her Oceans with practical, environmentally focused activities reaches and opens your students' hearts.

Living Values Education recognises that it is entirely impractical for most of the world's population to attend workshops and participate in organised Living Values Education activities due to cost, time, and travel requirements. Through this Distance opportunity, Living Values Education encourages and extends Living Values Education Distance Online Courses into the home to individuals, families, and communities.

It is 25 years since Living Values Education birthed a new educational opportunity for people to change their lives. Now, a new way of being part of that discovery is open to everyone, allowing all of us to make a difference in our lives and the lives of those around us. Here is a brief introduction to what we've been building over the past several years...

• Courses are stand-alone Living Values Education Courses that can be engaged by anyone, anywhere.
• Courses do not rely on trained facilitators or workshop attendance.
• Courses are self-structured with no time conditions (except when engaging in facilitator training).
• Living Values Education OTC provides the Distance Helpline - Click here to email
• All materials may be translated for local use.
• There is currently no cost to the Online Courses. A minimal registration fee may be charged in the future.
• For all Facilitator Training activity Level Two and Level Three, an LVE Mentor may be requested to assist with the evaluation for the LVE certification.
