This module consists of 2 parts:

• Facilitator Fundamentals
• Drivers and consent

Collaborating is part of your daily life, at work as well as at home. It often works out just fine. But do you notice that sometimes the energy in the group is really low, or you feel stuck and don’t know what to do, or the group keeps going in all directions and you have a hard time to come to a conclusion, or maybe agreements don’t last longer than the next coffee break?

A well facilitated process can help us to keep collaboration effective and constructive.

Through this module, you will learn and experience:

• The dynamics in a group when turning an idea into an agreement and how to work with it as a facilitator.
• Understanding the role of the facilitator, principles of artful facilitation and your personal challenges in it.
• Core techniques like brainstorming, categorizing, facilitative listening, working with tension, group energetics etc.
• On day 3 we take a look at a great way to start and focus by using Driver statements and how to turn a proposal into an agreement using consent decision making. We offer this day as an optional session if you are familiar and have practical experience with this topic or you have attended a S3-level 1 course already.
