Facilitating successful planning processes with community members means being able to adapt the tools you use to the people and environment you’re helping to plan with. We’re mostly used to facilitating planning processes in a room with internet, power, projectors and white boards, and of course, sticky notes! What do you think you’ll need to facilitate a workshop with a group of community members ranging from 2 to 82 in the bush? The CCNet Australia Aotearoa- New Zealand coordinating committee have a range of experience in remote environments and we know a lot of other facilitators do too. If you are a CS practitioner or coach involved in organising and facilitating planning workshops with community in outdoor or remote settings then join us for our May webinar. This session is a chance for you to learn some tips from two very experienced coaches, share your experiences and to learn from each other on how to facilitate planning sessions when none of the usual equipment is available.
