Spaces are limited to 18 participants.

Improve the way you design and facilitate group conversations:  

  • To bring all the voices in the room into the discussion.
  • To deepen group understanding and increase participatory decision-making.
  • To develop more confidence as a facilitator.

The training will cover two different facilitation methods, emphasizing participatory approaches. Participants will first experience the methods and then debrief, unpack, and even try out the methods for themselves.  

This training is for people who facilitate workshops, lead meetings, or work with groups, and who want to reach more meaningful conclusions through participatory methods. The training is not limited to one field or topic of expertise, but rather could apply to people working for NGOs, companies, foundations, academia, international organizations, research groups, and more.
