Participatory Facilitation Methods

At the Caux Initiatives of Change Foundation, we believe that a successful learning process involves the whole person. Over the last few decades, the Caux Initiatives of Change Foundation has developed and applied a range of practices and tools that reflect its mission to inspire, equip and connect individuals, groups and organizations to engage effectively and innovatively in the promotion of trust, ethical leadership, sustainable living and human security.

The 1-day course "Participatory Facilitation Methods" is aligned with our core values and can be delivered as part of your stay in Caux or separately.

IMPORTANT: For participants based in Geneva and with a Swiss contract, please note that it is possible to obtain a subsidy from the canton of Geneva through the Chèque Annuel de Formation (CAF) programme. More information on the subsidy and eligibility criteria is available here.

Goals

This course is designed to 'train the trainer' by looking at the general issues involved in facilitation, the conditions for success and the need to design sessions carefully.

The training covers two different facilitation methods, emphasizing participatory approaches. Participants will first experience the methods and then debrief, unpack and try out the methods for themselves.

 

Requirements

There are no requirements or pre-conditions for participants. Facilitation experience is preferred, but absolutely not required.

 

Public

People who facilitate workshops, lead meetings or work with groups, and who want to reach more meaningful conclusions through participatory methods

 

Objectives and deliverables

By the end of the workshop you will have developed more confidence as a facilitator and learnt how to design and facilitate group conversations so as to   

  • bring all the voices in the room into the discussion.
  • deepen group understanding and increase participatory decision-making

Delivery mode

  • Online
  • Face-to-face
  • On other sites
