facilitation

Training facilitator workshop
by Associazione Granara Ecologia

 

In times of climate change, economic crisis and depletion of representative democracy, what is the experience of violence?
In this context, those experiences inspired by an ecological approach, descending, equitable and participatory, as articulated power and conflict in their practice?
The assumption is that the power of nonviolence and conflict are two aspects inherent to the relationship and communication, that power is diffused and the conflict is not a negative term.
The facilitator intervenes to ensure that communication processes and internal decision-making are consistent with the principles and purposes of such experiences, to promote consensus-oriented decision-making methods to the management and nonviolent conflict resolution.
Who should be formed to this practice, we offer a fun-oriented path to nonviolence, to explore the facilitation seen as the art of tracing routes, sailing in rough seas, listen to the sirens and come out alive. Indeed, more alive!
The seminar is aimed at social and political activists, educators and social workers, trainers.
