Description
Know that feeling of being stuck in a meeting which seems to be going nowhere? Are you trying your best to get your group to work together, but hitting some snags? If this resonates, boosting your facilitation skills might be just what you need.
Join us for an engaging training session designed to give you the tools you need to lead effective and purposeful meetings, aligned with your organisation’s goals and values. You’ll learn facilitation techniques to structure meetings, manage time effectively, and keep discussions focused and productive.
Please note, this is an introductory session which will cover the basics and give you a good grounding for trying these skills in practice.
*This four-part training series aims to equip group organisers and community leaders with the facilitation skills they need to support their organisations so they move towards their purpose.*

Sessions facilitator:
Jana Light (they/them) is a facilitator, trainer, mediator and coach working primarily with grassroot groups in England and Germany. After discovering in their own social change work that having a shared goal or vision alone often wasn't enough to keep a group together and on track, they turned to facilitation and the question of what's needed to deal effectively with conflict. Over the last 5 years they have explored different modalities and practiced facilitation in various contexts. Find out more about them here: https://facilitating-light.weebly.com/
