TRAINING COURSE: FACILITATION AND PRESENTATION SKILLS

Anyone who manages people needs the ability to facilitate successful discussion resulting in sustainable agreement. Sometimes, too, we need to present our ideas persuasively, either to communicate ideas efficiently or as a springboard for discussion. This course will be valuable to anyone who deals with decision making with various levels of stakeholders. Community-level facilitators, trainers and managers will all benefit from this training.

Over the five days a range of areas essential to effective facilitation, managing group dynamics and effective presentation are introduced and practiced. The workshop is participatory, with frequent opportunities for applying the tools.

The exact contents of the training are fine-tuned in response participants' needs and daily feedback. Key areas covered include essential theoretical aspects such as:

  • The 'What and Why' of Facilitation
  • The Role and Qualities of a Facilitator
  • Harnessing Group Potential
  • Adult Learning
  • The Dynamics of Group Decision-making
  • Principles for Building / Facilitating Sustainable Agreements
  • Essentials of Presentation skills
  • Preparation and Effective Presentation: Tips and Tools

During the course, participants learn and practice:

  • Facilitation techniques such as card collection, brainstorming, group formation, case studies and field visits
  • Facilitative listening skills / techniques for honouring all points of view
