Tripod's Running Great Workshops will help you build skills and gather tools for excellent and participatory workshops. This training is open to anyone who wants to take their training skills to the next level, particularly those engaged in social change work - including NGO staff, community organisers, campaigners, and more.
Join us to transform your training approach and contribute to building a just and equitable world.
Please note that this training consists of two parts, and we ask that you commit to attending both days. This ensures a consistent learning environment, as each section builds on the previous one, tailored to meet the evolving needs of the participants.
Experience a participatory and engaging learning journey informed by Tripod's intersectional values and direct education approach. Be ready to actively engage in activities and learn not only from our facilitation team but also from fellow participants. We firmly believe in learning-by-doing and will support you in reflecting on your facilitation and training experiences, identifying your learning goals, and exploring popular education methodologies to put into practice. You'll have plenty of opportunities for practice and feedback and to address specific questions and challenges.
We will cover:
- Principles and tools for designing experiential learning spaces
- Orientation & qualities of engaging facilitation
- Skills practice for leading participatory exercises
- Navigating power and group dynamics in workshops
- Creating supportive and inclusive learning environments
