Consensus and facilitation training

  Kebele co-op members recieved this training from Seeds for Change. It is
excellent and of real benefit to activists and all those engaged in
struggle (and lots of meetings!)

Hello!

Seeds for Change have three workshops coming up this autumn:

~ Facilitating Consensus         (25 - 26 Sept 2010)
~ Consensus: in at the deep end  (8,9,10 Oct)
~ How to run a great workshop    (4 - 5 Dec)

For more details see below, or visit our website:

** Facilitating Consensus
Help your group make better decisions, become more democratic, and have
more fun! This workshop is for you if you have already participated in
consensus decision making meetings, and would now like to start, or to
gain more confidence in, facilitating your group’s meetings.

** Consensus: in at the deep end
Plunge into a deeper exploration of consensus and facilitation in
activist movements - whether in small or large groups, networks, open
or closed groups. This weekend is for people with experience of
facilitating consensus who want to deepen their skills and
understanding, to share problems and look for solutions.
  ~ This workshop is organised by Seeds for Change Network and
Rhizome Cooperative. http://www.rhizome.coop

** How to run a great workshop
Develop the skills and confidence to design and facilitate engaging and
participatory workshops for activist groups. This workshop is for you
if you have skills or information you want to share, or you want to
support people to learn from each other.
