Workshop Facilitators
Workshop Facilitators
To create a consistent base-level of workshop faciltiators, we’ve developed a workshop facilitator train-the-trainer workshop that can help our workshop hosts to learn the specific techniques we’ll be using to run our Futures workshops
Our workshop facilitator training will invite participants to join a community of practice, composed of facilitators from across NZ that will work to apply common methods and practices to capture and gather these optimistic and pessimistic views of the future at 15, 30, and 50 year time horizons.
Over the span of 4-hours (in 2x 2-hour sessions online via Zoom) prospective facilitators will join group discussions and break-out rooms to discuss and share techniques and tips for:
- Creating safe spaces for contribution
- Ice breakers and group formation
- Keeping a room focused and “on-task”
- Making space for unique perspectives and minority voices
- Channeling Optimism
- Focusing Contributions - i.e. A day in the life, 50 years from now?
- Inviting Pessimism
- Future Scenarios as a lasting resource - How to capture futures created and contribute them to GitHub
