Facilitation in Practice
Location
About
Facilitating groups well asks us to stay present, think on our feet and ensure all participants are included. This workshop pairs a half-day in person with two follow-up sessions online, so you build skills and confidence both face-to-face and online. Led by experienced facilitators, it gives you evidence-based tools and the time to practise them across several weeks, with feedback as you go.
What you'll gain
- Engaging groups: create interactive, inclusive sessions where every participant has a way in.
- Confidence: practical techniques, plus the chance to watch experienced facilitators at work.
- Design and planning: shape content that works with the way adults learn.
- Online facilitation: specific tools for holding attention and connection on screen.
- Hands-on practice: try new approaches in a supportive group, then bring them back and refine them.
Why it matters
- Stronger collaboration and communication across your teams and programs.
- More genuine, respectful partnerships with the people in your groups.
- Fresh approaches you can use in your next session, in the room and online.
How it runs
- One half-day in person at Parkville to build the foundations together.
- Two 90-minute online sessions over the following weeks, to focus on facilitating online and to practise between sessions.
Total Cost, inclusive of catering on Day 1 is $820 inc GST per person.
