Group Facilitation Course
From Group Member to Group Leader: The Path to Developing professionalism
What are the strengths and advantages of a group? How can you conduct a workshop that is truly meaningful to participants and ensure that every member is reached? How do you inspire the entire group to work together and achieve a shared goal? Why do we join groups in the first place?
The group facilitation course offers participants a professional toolkit, equipping them to effectively guide groups using the mission-oriented approach. This course is structured as an active workshop, filled with hands-on experiences and exercises.
The facilitator’s role is to lead the group toward its goals, foster positive interactions among members, and help consolidate and empower the group. This enables them to overcome challenges collectively and achieve their objectives.
In today’s world, especially in the post-COVID era, groups have become increasingly important. They foster a sense of belonging, enhance communication, provide support, and serve as a key platform for achieving both group and individual goals.
