CANCELLED: Cool in the Hot Seat: Facilitating Groups Excellently Dorset

At their best groups can be energising, creative and nurturing spaces. At their worst they can be dull, unproductive, undermining and even threatening experiences. The quality of the group experience is often determined by the skill and ability of those who facilitate them. In church circles such a task more often than not falls to those in ministry. This workshop introduces participants to the basic skills required to facilitate groups confidently.

Some of the areas we will look at will be: understanding groups and how they function, establishing an atmosphere of cooperation and collective ownership, understanding power in groups, and dealing with conflict.
