Community Organiser’s Toolkit: Group Decision Making

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 to explore democratic decision-making methods such as consent and consensus. Discover practical tools to guide groups towards shared agreements while fostering collaboration, inclusivity, and fairness in decision-making processes.

Effective facilitation and decision-making are the backbone of successful community organising. Whether you’re leading a neighbourhood association or running a community project, these skills will help you build stronger relationships and move your organisation towards its purpose.

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
