Being Facilitative - Basic Skills Workshop $40 (lunch provided)
Where: Hanna Learning Centre Upstairs Boardroom
When: Tuesday, April 27
Time: 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
Presenters: Shari Hanson, Community Development Officer of Alberta Culture and Community Spirit, Community Development Branch
Registration Deadline: April 20
This workshop is designed to build capacity for working with and collecting wisdom from groups of people. It provides basic understanding and skills in the art of facilitating. This workshop does not provide certification in the area of facilitation but is intended to provide interested individuals with basic skills and tools in the area of facilitation. Participants will enhance skills and abilities to effectively and efficiently facilitate small group discussions and help those groups reach carefully considered conclusions.
With increasing numbers of community groups and trends that show more public involvement in local decision making, there has been a comparable growth in the need for facilitative help. More and more people from all organizational levels and functions are now in facilitator roles. For some, this is their primary role but for most, serving as a facilitator will be a part time role or a new way of working with groups. The session will assist participants in a wide array of work situations such as public and/or stakeholder input, planning, managing staff, leading project teams, chairing meetings, etc. Lunch will be provided.
Shari Hanson has worked as a Community Development Officer with the Provincial Government (now with Community Development Branch of Alberta Culture and Community Spirit) for the past 12 years. Through her work, she provides workshops and services in support of community and nonprofit organizations, including:
§ Learning workshops on Board Development, Meeting Management, and Effective Skills for Facilitating.
§ Facilitation services for Strategic Planning, Decision Making, Public Input and Team Building.
§ Consultation support for volunteer recruitment and management, proposal writing, leadership development and community development.
As a facilitator, Shari especially enjoys “conducting” in ways that seek harmony from diverse voices, (as opposed to monotony heard from same voices)!
