FACILITATION FUNDAMENTALS

February 23, 2012, 9am-1pm

Seattle University Law School Annex, Rm 143

Summary of Facilitation Fundamentals

    One of the most important skills of an effective community leader is the ability to facilitate group discussions and help groups make decisions together in a way that engages the voices of everyone in the group. Too often, we get thrown into the role of facilitator without having been taught the fundamentals and/or had a chance to practice.  In this workshop you will have an opportunity to both learn and practice the fundamentals in a fun, interactive, and non-threatening environment.

In this half day workshop, participants will:

  •  clarify the role and key skills of an effective facilitator.

  •  learn how to use the experiential learning cycle as a tool for group reflection.

  •  learn meeting management skills including prep, set-up, agenda planning, and more!

  •  practice and get feedback on their facilitation skills!
