This session provides participants with advanced tools and techniques for facilitation, whether for use in meetings or trainings. Through small group work, we will use situations of typical facilitation challenges. The workshop guides participants to review and select appropriate tools and games. It also introduces and incorporates a wide range of tools and games. The training actively involves participants in presenting, using role plays and the opportunity for feedback. Participants will leave this training with skills on how to actively listen, ways to build group rapport, and effective questioning techniques for group dialogue.
