This workshop is aimed at PhD students and Early Career Researchers as an introduction to building key facilitation skills and competencies. The event will be held from 10.30 – 13.00 on Friday 26th of September, in 27 University Square. It offers participants an opportunity to develop their knowledge of facilitation and practically apply their skills in scenario-based mock discussions.

The workshop will cover:

• What does it mean to be a facilitator?
• When might we use facilitation skills? (e.g. meetings, workshops, participatory research)
• What makes a good facilitator? (styles of facilitation and self-reflexivity)
• Group dynamics, group work processes and how to manage different audiences and difficult personalities. (preparation when co-facilitating and strategies for managing discussion)
• Organising, designing and evaluating a session. (setting expectations and establishing common goals, learning from what works/ doesn’t work for you as a facilitator)

Registration will close on Friday 19 September.
