Course Code: VILT-FAC

90-minute live session delivered virtually or in-person (Perfect for use as part of a blended learning program)

This programme is available for groups and teams

Effective facilitation can transform group learning from feeling pointless and uncomfortable to being productive and worthwhile.
You don’t have to be a professional facilitator to facilitate a group workshop. Anyone can learn and apply the skills required to unlock potential and drive success through effective group learning.
A facilitator’s role is to create an environment in which sharing, learning, and decision making flourish. The facilitator steers the group toward an objective, and leads interactive sessions that encourage participation, foster critical thinking, and enable participants to reflect and collaborate.
Throughout this course, you’ll gain a deep understanding of the purpose and value of facilitation. You’ll learn how to create an inclusive and psychologically safe learning environment, design engaging workshops, and handle challenging behaviors with confidence.

 

  • Do you regularly lead team meetings and workshops?
  • If not, is this something that you feel would benefit you and your team?
  • Have you ever wondered how “facilitating” is different from “training”?
  • Would you like to feel more confident in leading interactive activities and exercises?
  • Have you ever felt unsure how to deal with difficult or disruptive behaviors in a team workshop?

By the end of this session, you will be able to:

  • Explain the purpose of facilitation and how it differs from training
  • Create and maintain a positive learning environment based on psychological safety
  • Design an effective workshop, including interactive activities to promote participation
  • Confidently deal with challenging behaviors during a facilitated workshop
