Course Description 

Inclusive Facilitation is a learning lab to experience and learn simple, semi-structured activities you can use immediately in your outreach and education efforts, meetings, and other gatherings. Group facilitation is a practice we ombuds are forever mastering. There is always a learning edge, no matter one’s level of experience. We’ll kick this series off with Liberating Structures (LS), a repertoire of open-source protocols and innovative guidelines for how people are included and participate, LS was developed to redistribute power more widely, invite self-organization, and increase diversity and transparency. Participants are invited to discover new ways to foster connection, inclusion, collaboration, and joy. You’ll leave this immersive session with a handful of engaging activities, tips and tricks for flexible application, and general best practices for inclusive facilitation.

Objectives:

  • Learn facilitation methods to foster inclusivity, connection and joy.
  • Learn ways to hold space for conflict and reflection; shift energy from destructive/siloed to constructive/collaborative.
  • Explore a crowdsourced challenge through multiple creative modalities.
