The art of conducting a good meeting I training

We all constantly participate in or conduct meetings However, whether they are good, whether we leave them with a sense of accomplished purpose and being listened to, or with a sense of frustration and wasted time depends largely on the person leading the meeting

Facilitation is the art of leading a meeting in such a way as to move the group toward a common goal and keep everyone involved engaged The word facilitation comes from the Latin facilitate, to make more accessible and to facilitate Facilitating a joint discussion – for ourselves and for those participating – will be the focus of our 2-day workshop

We will learn about

– models for conducting meetings

– communication techniques that support a good discussion

– elements of the group process

– principles of giving feedback to each other – we will work in a workshop and in a safe group practice facilitation skills

and together we will define the role and desired attitude of the person leading the meeting and the tasks facing him/her

For whom

We invite people who want to improve their meeting/process facilitation skills and test them in practice by leading a discussion during the 2nd Kuyavian-Pomeranian Cultural Congress to participate

The training is directed exclusively to people who work in the cultural sector in the Kuyavian-Pomeranian province You can apply to participate individually or in a duo
