FACILITATION WORKSHOP 

COST: $600 (please see sliding scale fee options)

This training is perfect for educators, designers, and professionals interested in learning the skills of facilitation and best practices in effective group discussion.

People feel heard, supported, and empowered when they are guided by a facilitator who balances the requirements of creating inclusive space while fulfilling discussion objectives. 

Workshop participants will carefully consider inclusive, learner-centered teaching practices. Learn, practice, and reflect using the Visual Thinking Strategies (VTS) method and leave this training with all the tools you need to start facilitating discussions with your group. We will put theory into practice.

We use art as the first provocation for group discussions for many reasons. Carefully selected art is accessible to viewers, it provides an authentic problem to be solved and it creates space for unique personal and intellectual engagement. 

Shift your perspective and skillset from discussion participant to group facilitator in this 2-day workshop.  

This workshop is all about the critical tools of facilitation: 

● careful listening  

● linking ideas  

● framing concepts  

● paraphrasing comments  

● questioning to encourage divergent thinking and supporting ideas with evidence
