Facilitation can seem easy, right?
Skilled facilitators make it seem like there is nothing to it when they are delivering sessions. Yet there is artistry involved in helping people traverse a range of complexities to achieve individual and group goals.
Dates and Times
Many facilitators who have come to learn with the Prosocial Method of community building and collaborative decision-making have asked us for some foundational skills training in Facilitation. Prosocial has therefore partnered with wwwZenergyglobal.com.au
The program is called: "Expand your Facilitation Toolkit" and is a practical training to practice and learn some foundational frameworks and principles in group facilitation.
