How to Incorporate More Movement Into Your Nonprofit Training

Good instructional design and delivery engages people’s brains, eyes, ears and bodies. People pay attention more, they learn something, they retain it better, and there is a better chance of them applying what they learned. There are many creative ways to engage learners during a training—both face-to-face and online. Moving around is better than sitting still to enhance learning.

The simplest way to incorporate movement in your training is to use mini-stretch breaks. As a facilitator, you have to watch the participants body language and look for the "slump,"  and if you notice people getting tired, interject some movement.
