Facilitating Small Groups
April 6-11 Sun. 7 pm - Fri. 1 pm
“Learn to do by doing!” Improve your facilitation with a greater
understanding of group dynamics, stages of group development, group
decision-making and problem-solving. Gain confidence in dealing with
difficult behaviours and situations.  Become a more effective
facilitator and increase your ability to provide leadership for
satisfying, effective small groups in which individuals, organizations,
communities and churches can be transformed. This mid-level course
builds on the Tatamagouche model of educational design and uses a
democratic, experiential and "strength-based" approach to learning.

Leadership:
Wilf Bean, Program Director, holds a doctorate in Community Psychology
and has conducted workshops in emancipatory adult education and
participatory development in many Southern countries. He is also an
associate staff member with Coady International Institute, St. Francis
Xavier University.
Marg Brown is a therapist, consultant, adult educator and mediator,
recently becoming qualified to administer and interpret the Myers-Brigg
Type Indicator.

Cost:  $525 includes tuition, home-cooked meals and a cozy room!
Bursaries available.

“I increased my facilitation skills, learned new techniques and came
away
feeling more confident with so many new techniques!” – 2002 participant
