Facilitation is core to all successful workshops, trainings and meetings. With facilitation tools you can make sure that the participants are engaged in your event whether it is a weekly routine meeting or a co-creation workshop. Facilitation skills are also one of the core competencies in coaching teams and helping organizations change. However, facilitating workshops can feel daunting, especially at first. What does it mean to facilitate? What are your goals as a facilitator? What should you pay attention to? How do you design an inspiring workshop? These are natural, first questions to ask as you begin your journey as a facilitator.

This training will give you the fundamentals of facilitation and a set of concrete facilitation tools for planning and conducting trainings, workshops and meetings offline. The main objective is to make sure that after the training program each participant is able to use facilitation tools in different types of events.
