SUMMARY:Facilitation Skills for Collective Action
DESCRIPTION:Facilitation is an essential skill\nFacilitation is more than running a good meeting—it’s a holistic process that spans the entire arc of a group’s work. It includes intentional planning and clear communication between meetings, effective facilitation during sessions, and thoughtful follow-up to ensure accountability. This workshop emphasizes facilitation as a transformative journey that allows people to think well together. \nThis interactive workshop is designed to strengthen your ability to facilitate the creation of spaces and conversations that inspire groups to equitably achieve meaningful goals. Over two sessions, you’ll explore seven essential facilitation practices, practical tools, and actionable strategies to integrate into your current facilitation approach. You will learn how to create spaces where individuals can come together, understand one another, and work collectively toward ambitious goals.\nIn a time when fostering connection and cooperation is more crucial than ever, this workshop offers a practical framework for building your skills to co-create a collaborative path forward. \n \nWhile this workshop is suitable for all changemakers engaged in community-driven and community-centric programming, it is most relevant for people in roles that involve convening, hosting, and guiding groups.\nThe skills of facilitation can be applied to many scenarios, from team meetings and neighbourhood action groups to working groups and roundtables, and even to large-scale collaborative initiatives.\nLanguage: The workshop will be conducted in English, with the ability to transcribe to French.\n \n\n\n\n\nWhat will you learn?\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThrough this 2-part workshop, you will:\n\nLearn seven essential facilitation practices to co-create spaces and conversations where group members are accountable for shared outcomes.\n\n\nThink about your strengths and how to leverage them in your facilitation practices.\nUnderstand and influence power dynamics for equitable outcomes.\n\n\nLearn techniques for getting to an agreement with a group, and infusing play, connection, and levity into challenging, complex work.\nLearn and apply decision-making tools that leverage alignment and drive progress.\n\n\nHave honest conversations about facilitation challenges, where things can go wrong, and what we can do instead.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMeet the workshop facilitators\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLisa Attygalle\n\nIn her role at Tamarack, Lisa works with cities, organizations, collaboratives, and funders to build meaningful community-engaged processes.
