"The challenge of
demonstrating my facilitation skills under the watchful but
supportive eye of my group has greatly boosted my confidence
when I have had to do it for real" - Chris
Browne, Regional Co-ordinator Social Cohesion, Government
Office East Midlands
Who this course is for
Group Facilitation
Methods is a pre-requisite for
this course. The course is suitable for all those who would
benefit from a refresher and further practice and support
in their use of the Focused
Conversation and Consensus
Workshop methods – both those who have lacked the
opportunity or confidence to practice them enough since their
initial training, and those looking for support to take their
understanding and use of the methods to the next stage.
This course is useful for team leaders and project managers
within organisations, those working collaboratively with partners
and external stakeholders, youth and community workers and
independent facilitators.
Questions this course answers
“How can I gain further experience and confidence
to feel ready to use the two basic ToP methods for real, given
the challenges and pressures I face in my own situation? How
can I adapt the methods to suit the groups that I work with?
How can I further develop my expertise with these methods,
with support from a practicing facilitator with more experience
of the ToP approach?”
This course provides an opportunity for Group
Facilitation Methods course graduates to refresh and advance
their understanding of the basic Focused
Conversation and Consensus
Workshop methods, and to benefit from supported practice
in a safe learning environment with guided refection and feedback
from an experienced facilitator.
What you will gain
By the end of the course, you will have
- increased your understanding of how and why the Focused
Conversation and Consensus
Workshop methods work, and your skill in using them
- identified opportunities and gained confidence to use
the methods effectively, in “text-book” form
or adapted, in your own real-world situations
- further developed your links with others to promote future
collaboration and support in the use of the methods
Learning style
Participants will be able to learn from each others’
and the trainer’s experience of using the methods, and
barriers to using them, in their own real-life situations;
from their own supported preparation and practice in using
the methods on the day; and from facilitated reflection and
feedback from both peers and trainers. Every participant will
have an opportunity to practice.
This course is scheduled directly before Participatory
Strategic Planning and Designing
Participatory Events to allow from one to three days of
training at once.
