Facilitation
CCCID currently offers two workshops focused on building skills for facilitating in cross cultural contexts.
- Introduction to Facilitation (one day): helps participants share, develop and adapt their strengths, skills and tools for undertaking facilitation in cross cultural settings. Participatory and interactive exercises are used to model and explore facilitation. Attendance at this workshop is a pre-requisite for the Advanced Facilitation Workshop.
- Advanced Facilitation Skills and Tools (one day): enables participants to reflect on their practice and exercise skills in a supervised environment. It explores challenges in a facilitator’s role including gender, culture, organisational issues and conflict in facilitation.
