What Alumni say about the course
This was my first facilitation course and I don't regret it. It challenged me to think about my facilitation style, and where I want to go with faciliatation in the future. The course provided me with an easy-to-follow structure for designing different kind of workshops and sessions, and gave me plenty of methods that I can apply. I feel confident in preparing and facilitating sessions by myself now.
This course is a must for anyone who is starting out or wanting to reflect on their current experience of being a facilitator in activist/organising/work setting. I’ve found it so helpful for finding out the different approaches to decision making, and practising how to facilitate them eg consensus decision making. Crucial to this is the space made for personal and group reflection and how to go about creating inclusive, safer places, that doesn’t invisiblise difference and the power dynamics that underpin this.
The course was very thorough and went through a lot of steps of facilitation and how to be more inclusive and how to deal with different kind of people's, situations. I learned many good tools techniques to use in my further role as a facilitator. I also grew as a person throughout the course, got to know many nice and diverse people and in the end of the course we had already grown together as a group! Strongly recommend the course!
This direct exploration of inclusive facilitation really taught me what it means, how it is practiced, and why it is so important in today's group environments. While I learned theory on a meta and practical level, I also learned a lot about myself and my ways of facilitating. I finished this course with a sense of clarity and excitement for all the exploration ahead.
