Giorgi Aronia, trainer. Since you already are or would like to become a non-formal education practitioner of any sort, then you probably believe in lifelong learning and even if you have never produced a video tutorial, I am sure that you will eventually learn enough to be able to make one or even two and who knows you might even produce whole three video tutorials without realizing it even. All you need is to start from the trust in yourself and your team that you can do it. If you know or invent a method that we all should know about, there is no better way than showing it through a video (except participating in it of course). Sérgio Gonçalves, trainer. I learnt several things during this project, but the main one is that having a good team, with open communication, trust and ability to tackle sensitive topics is a key element in the success of any project. During the entire project we were able to be open about our feelings, about the overload of work (yep, it happened), about things we did not like, etc. Even being tough sometimes, it was clear that we all had a sense of what we wanted to achieve and worked together for that. So, my recommendation is for you to surround yourself with people that will support each other, even with flaws, mistakes and obstacles.
