Creative Facilitation Training

I develop bespoke training for organisations looking to build their facilitation skills, creative practice and teamwork. I offer specialist training for organisations working with young people or in education, with a focus on arts-based, trauma-informed practice, centred around youth people’s needs.

Where to start?

A facilitation training might focus on 2-3 of the following areas, which can be adapted to your setting:

    • No more worksheets or power points!

    • Learn how to embed creativity into any sessions you are designing and facilitating.

    • Get people moving, making and talking to each other, whilst still having purpose.

    • Learn how to ‘hold space’ for a diverse range of participants.

    • Build skills for asking meaningful questions, facilitating discussion and managing complex group dynamics.

    • Develop a toolkit for structuring sessions and scaffolding earning in an engaging and inclusive way.

    • Explore the ways we can set up a space that helps all participants feel welcome, recognising the barriers different people might have to engaging.

    • Understand the importance of boundaries as a facilitator: Explore the balance of being authentic whilst in a position of power.

    • Develop a reflective practice and debrief culture that supports self-care and growth.

    • Learning to really listen!

    • Deepen skills for 1-1 supportive relationships, with a focus on building trust and honesty within the boundaries of a role.

    • Practice communicating instructions and feedback in a neurodiverse-inclusive way.

    • Understand how trauma can impact young people’s behaviour, and how to develop an approach that puts young people’s needs and wellbeing at the centre.

    • Explore the core foundations of youth work, and what ‘automatic positive regard’, empathy and compassion looks like in practice

    • Draw on models such as ‘Non-Violent Communication’ to support with managing conflict.

    • Critically reflect on the embedded power dynamics of mainstream educational spaces.

    • Explore theories of education that give participants/learners more agency.

    • Go deeper into exploring ways of empowering learners and creating “classroom communities”.
