"I was surprised by how much fun the format was. ​
I have done exciting workshops in person, but not a real online meeting that was as fun. This was new to me.”

ABOUT THE COURSE

OVERVIEW
Successful facilitators accompany larger and smaller changes within projects, teams and organisations. The process of change begins early, with the needs analysis and the design and planning of co-creative formats. This course teaches you to understand the needs of stakeholders impacted by your design and use your knowledge to create meaningful experiences which go far beyond "Powerpoint and Post-its". We will look at how to inspire interest, use mixed activities, dramatic arcs, space, movement, technology and timing to be both engaging and effective. We also explore how to react when things do not go as planned.
