Large-group capacitation

For the biological process related to reproduction, see Capacitation.

Large-group capacitation is an adult education and social psychology concept associated with the Brazilian sociologist Clodomir Santos de Morais, and grounded in the "activity"[1][2] of the individual and the social psychology of the large group.[3][4][5] When applied to the context of the Organization Workshop (OW), which, historically, has been used mainly for the purpose of job creation and income generation,[9] it is known as Metodología da Capacitação Massiva (MCM) in Portuguese, Método de Capacitación Masiva (MCM)[10] in Spanish and as Large-Group Capacitation Method (LGCM)[3][5] in English.
