In this workshop, we will be exploring the essentials of effective facilitation. Supporting a team or a group through a process of development, change, transition, or learning requires effective group facilitation skills.

Effective facilitators possess qualities and skills to work with groups with confidence in order to help the group achieve its goals. Holding boundaries, being empathetic, having knowledge and dealing with conflict and differences are some of the main tasks of a facilitator.

In this workshop, we will be looking at:

  • defining facilitation/facilitator as distinct from teaching/teacher
  • some theory (and reality!) of the group process, including power dynamics and diverse identities within groups
  • the skills of an effective facilitator
  • the qualities of an effective facilitator
  • planning a group work session
  • working creatively with groups

This workshop will be facilitated in an informative, relaxed and experiential way, so please be open to a little self-exploration and working with others!

I will also be bringing my own learning and experiences from working with groups, and I would like participants to also bring their experiences. Expect a day of learning, sharing, creativity and some fun!

Minimum of five participants.
