I have never facilitated a group of people with disabilities. Mostly because I never thought I have what it takes and also the deep fear of failing. What if I suddenly realise I am not a great facilitator after all.

In Episode 2, Moses Chowdari, Executive Director of Enable India simplifies what it means to design learning spaces for people with disabilities and keeps it very very real. What struck me the most during the interview is there is no “special formula” - it is just what Enable India calls ‘celebrating the human spirit’.

Practitioners of experiential education, globally, are guided by the work of Kurt Hahn. Hahn suffered severe sunstroke in 1904 which left him permanently disabled and required a long period of recovery in darkened rooms. It is in this period, Hahn shaped his thinking and philosophy around the power of great outdoors and learning by doing.

We met Moses Chowdari, Executive Director, Enable India who is leading the organisation’s strategy and vision to enable not just people with disability but invest in an entire ecosystem that commits to equal opportunities.

In part 2, we continue our conversation with Gagan Sethi and engage with 5 questions that our listeners left us on social media. Join Doing Being Doing on linkedin and instagram for more conversations. In the previous episode, Gagan sets the context - he says he is an educator, a political one. It is key for educators to ask political questions and also understand the politics of their constituency. Through this conversation, we also unpack the politics and identity of the facilitator and how it also impacts our ability to ask the right question and steer conversations for reflections. He says a facilitator’s job is to create a space where people can have honest conversations first with themselves, and then with others.
