Working effectively with local communities is an essential part of getting things done in any neighborhood. It is also important for the development of better policy and practice, for understanding local needs and developing more sustainable communities. Local meetings and engagement processes can too often be un-involving, unproductive and even confrontational. Good facilitation can help tackle these problems and help people to make local discussion and planning an enjoyable and productive process.
People attending this course will learn how to:
- Facilitate confidently and sensitively
- Use appropriate tools and techniques
- Deal with problematic situations
- How and when to hold meetings and when to use other approaches
- Develop facilitation work in ways appropriate to a range of diverse communities
- Build a working relationship with an existing organisation or a group of individuals
- Evaluate facilitated processes
The interactive course will also look closely at the roles a facilitator may play and how and when a facilitator’s role may link in to work on longer term community development. It will build the confidence of anyone keen to be a good facilitator and give them a solid basis on which to develop their own skills in the longer term.
Who should attend this course?
The event will benefit anyone working with groups of people in formal or informal settings. Whether a novice starting out, or an experienced facilitator wishing to expand on their techniques, the course will be tailored to the participants’ needs.
Large Charities, Public Sector, and Businesses: £258 per person
