Pre-conference workshops
Three fantastic workshops to build and expand your facilitation skills
Three pre-conference professional development workshops will be on offer as part of the Australasian Facilitation Conference. Each will be held from the 2nd to 3rd November 2011. If you can't make the conference, you can still attend either of these workshops on a 'stand alone' basis.
The programs have all been tailored to different levels of facilitation experience. So if you're new to facilitation, the 'ToP foundations of facilitation' program will be a fantastic way to learn the essentials of becoming a great facilitator. If you're wanting to hone your skills and share the facilitation experiences of others, the 'Practical Facilitation' program is just for you. And if you're really looking for new horizons in facilitation, then the Facilitation Masterclass Retreat will be a challenging and rewarding program.
