This one-day online training helps participants develop the confidence and techniques needed to plan and lead engaging, inclusive sessions in creative, cultural, and heritage contexts. Designed for emerging facilitators, creative practitioners, educators and project leaders, the course explores what effective facilitation looks like in practice: from building trust and managing group dynamics, to communicating clearly and adapting to different learning styles.

Throughout the day, participants will take part in interactive activities which will empower participants to create inclusive and engaging sessions.

In this course, you will:

• Learn how to create open, safe environments that encourage participation and collaboration
• Explore practical methods for supporting group discussions and managing challenging dynamics
• Develop your communication and questioning techniques to promote active engagement

• Practise applying facilitation models through real-world scenarios and reflective discussion

Who Will Benefit from the Training:

• Creative practitioners who lead workshops or community sessions and want to sharpen their facilitation skills
• Project and programme leads responsible for guiding groups and delivering interactive learning experiences
• Educators and trainers seeking new ways to make sessions more inclusive, participatory and responsive

By the end of this training, participants will leave with a strong foundation in facilitation skills, practical tools for engaging diverse groups, and the confidence to lead with inclusivity.
