Develop your competencies in facilitating groups and using new tools to host transformational conversations in your community or organisation. This full-day course will provide participants with new tools and processes to better host meetings, facilitate participative events, and cultivate flourishing communities.
This event will examine the changing role of the facilitator as a catalyst for change and is aimed at those that have no background in facilitation and also those who are seeking to refine skills and enrich their skill-set.

What will the course include?
Learners will gain a comprehensive understanding of the competencies needed for effective facilitation and then delve into more advanced aspects such as appreciative inquiry, hosting meaningful conversations as well as practical experience of co-facilitation and group facilitation.
