A unique day of interactive and participatory learning to build your confidence as a facilitator or workshop leader.

‘Excellent day…realistic tools to deal with real, every-day situations’ Stefania Battistelli (Save the Children)

In this training, you’ll be challenged, engaged, and hopefully excited while experiencing the power of deep facilitation. While this is a day of learning, it is also time for you to think about your work and share your experiences. You’ll be asked to analyse difficult situations and come up with your own solutions!

‘Enjoyable and interactive event’ Tonyeh Vincent (NHS)

You will also develop your skills and attitudes as a facilitator in working with diverse groups and using participatory processes whether online or face to face. We’ll look at what it means to be in the mindset of a facilitator rather than to just ‘do facilitation.”

‘Very useful & insightful’ Mary Church (Friends of the Earth Scotland)

The day will include:

• What it means to be a facilitator
• Online vs face-to-face group work
• How to support groups to recognise and work with their power dynamics
• Understand and deal with ‘problem’ behaviour
• Cultivate empathy and the appreciation of differences
• How to frame a group’s needs
• Using questions effectively to draw out the experience of a group
• Using non-hierarchal processes

Who should attend this course?

The event will benefit anyone working with groups of people in the role of facilitator/workshop leader both online & face-to-face. Whether you are a novice wanting to start out with a deep grounding, or an experienced facilitator wishing to develop your current understanding and practice, this course will provide valuable insight into good facilitation.
