- to let our potential Dharma Friends know about their role in being Dharma friends
- to guide our potential Dharma Friends to work well on their role such as to lead the discussions and involve everyone in during the group discussions especially during Dharma Circle (and also Dharma Camp)- to guide them the more effective and persuasive way to share their Dharma knowledge within members in Buddhist Society
- to somehow ensure that they have better knowledge of Dharma compared to other members

General inputs:
The participants appeared responsive throughout the workshop and receptive to Trainers' advice and suggestions. Their involvement was encouraging and it was very interactive. During the trials, the dummies did well in facilitating discussion and trainers were impressed with the progress made.
What we did well (Debrief on 11/11/10):
- More familiar with workshop contents as we did it before
- Share real-life facilitation experience
- Conducive venue: quiet, projector, whiteboard available
What to improve (Debrief on 11/11/10):
1. Team work:
- Assign specific roles to each person
- More mindful of dynamics with partner facilitators
- Main facilitator to slow down before moving on
- Communicate any conflicting ideas to partner facilitator first
2. Content/Style:
- More interactive, 50 mins of talk may cause restlessness
3. Others:
- Trial run
- Print hardcopy evaluation forms and ask them to fill up on the spot
