Introducing Basic Facilitation Skills: a hands on learning workshop to teach you the art of group facilitation run by the Government of Alberta.

Are you a member, a volunteer or a staff representative for a not-for-profit or government organization?

Do you and/or others within your organization or network plan, develop, organize, evaluate and make decisions for your organization as a team? Are you and others needed to plan and lead facilitated group discussions?

Would you like your organization’s group meetings and working sessions to be carried out in a more “facilitative way”?

If you answered “yes” to any or all of these questions, your organization or network needs to have someone skilled in the art and science of facilitation! 

Basic Facilitation Skills For Not-For-Profit & Government Organizations is offered by professional facilitators from the Alberta Culture Community Development team. The three-day workshop provides hands-on ‘learn while doing’ and accessible instruction in the art of group facilitation.
