We are potentially running our two-day introductory module,
The Facilitator's Toolkit, for a second time this autumn term. We are offering additional dates,
24-25th September, due to a high level of interest and we currently have spaces available. If you are interested in attending this for the first time, or if you are a past participant who would like to repeat this module or if you may be eligible for a bursary then please get in touch with us as soon as possible.
Please see below for our upcoming range of Facilitation Skills training, accreditation and networking opportunities, ranging from one day events, through to short modular courses and longer Certificate and Diploma programmes.
LEARNING DAY - 8 OCTOBER - DIVERSITY
Our next Learning Day will be held on Monday October 8th at Highfield Park, Hook, (£80 members, £100 non-members, 10am-4pm). The theme for this day will be the dynamics of Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) in groups and we will be led by highly experienced facilitator Colin Heyman.
Questions we might explore include:
- How do issues of race, class, gender, sexual orientation, disability and so on affect the dynamics of the groups that we facilitate?
- How do our own identities and the stuff that comes at us because of our own identities affect our faciltiation?
- How do we facilitate these issues as they arise?
Colin writes "I am fascinated by how these issues operate within groups. I don't necessarily have the answers and look forward to a day of exploring these questions together with you."
Our Learning Days are an excellent day for all facilitators (new, experienced and occasional) to meet, review and share good practice. We anticipate that we will all leave with new ideas, resources and a refreshed practice, having made and renewed our connections.
Places are limited so please book early to secure a place. To book, please
