Facilitation 101

A two-day learning experience for anyone who wants to get better at facilitating.

This isn’t just another facilitation skills program. It’s a chance to experience a little of our Navgati secret sauce, the way we bring together behavioural psychology, creativity and our experience of designing and facilitating learning.

At Navgati, we’ve been designing and facilitating learning experiences for 26 years. Along the way, we’ve learnt a fair bit about what helps people participate, what gets them thinking and how a well chosen activity can sometimes do more than a whole lot of explanation.

That’s the thinking behind Facilitation 101.

It’s a two-day, hands on program where you’ll explore what goes into designing and facilitating a session, look at group dynamics, experiment with creative methods and get plenty of opportunities to practise.
And you won’t just be facilitating. You’ll experience the activities as a participant too. After all, being on the receiving end of an exercise can tell you quite a lot about what makes it work!

In the course of the two days, you will:

  1. Understand what facilitation involves and the competencies that support it.
  2. Design and facilitate workshops and meetings using principles of adult learning.
  3. Create an environment that is safe and conducive to learning.
  4. Contract effectively with learners and sponsors.
  5. Identify or design interactive experiences that support your learning objectives, using a range of creative learning methods.
  6. Work with group energy and encourage meaningful participation.
  7. Facilitate reflection that helps learners connect concepts to themselves, draw insights and plan for change.
  8. Recognise your own natural facilitation style and learn to flex it based on the group and situation.
