Designing and Facilitating Inclusive and Interactive Sessions
Training Overview
In this 6-part modular training you will be given a headstart when it comes to designing and facilitating inclusive and interactive sessions such as meetings and workshops. You can attend any module separately, or sign up for the whole training. The modules are a month apart, giving you ample time to apply what you’ve learned before the next module starts.
The Trainers
Why attend?
This training is provided by highly skilled trainers who have decades of experience facilitating workshops.
The training covers all the essential topics in a carefully designed set of modules. Each module is long enough to get practical, yet short enough so you’re not overwhelmed.
We work with a small group of 8 - 10 participants: enough to be able to practice, small enough to give each person individual attention.
The price is highly competitive given what is included, the group size and the experience of the trainers.
Who is it for?
This training is for anyone who facilitates meetings, workshops or events and wants to make them more inclusive and interactive. It is primarily aimed at people with some facilitation experience who want to improve their skill and repertoire. Due to the small group size it is also suitable for novices.
Some roles that find this training useful are:
Teacher, Facilitator, Manager, Team Coach, Scrum Master, Host
What if I have other questions?

You can also contact us for an in-company training or a training in English.

Day 1 - Understanding Liberating Structures
You will explore the principles and design elements of Liberating Structures, and learn good facilitation practices that distinguish the good from the average facilitator.

Day 2 - Inviting Engagement
The questions or statements you use to get people talking matter more than you might think. We call these “invitations”, since they invite people to participate. A good invitation provides the right balance between constraints and creativity: you want to encourage novel ideas, while keeping the goal and context in mind.

Day 4 - Adjusting to Constraints
You’ll learn what the ideal circumstances are for an inclusive and interactive workshop: location, facilities, time, group size etc.
