Facilitation

Designing and hosting interactive learning journey
Facilitating collaborative team-building activities
Developing and moderating (online) seminars and workshops

Supporting groups in harnessing their collective knowledge, we design and facilitate workshops, conferences and learning processes. In our design, we use an approach that is rooted in The Art of Hosting and Harvesting Meaningful Conversations. We draw from a variety of interactive tools and methodologies, such as storytelling, open space, appreciative inquiry, world café, interviews and circle practice. The groups’ goals, and their context, composition, and resources guide the process. We design activities that stimulate creativity, connection, learning and having fun. We believe that is the best way to explore both common ground and new ways of thinking and doing.

Examples of learning events and sessions we co-designed and co-facilitated:

  • The Agroecology Coalition’s 2024 Donor Convening, sharing lessons learnt on funding agroecology
  • A Growing Culture’s 2024 organisational retreat to get clarity on its changing role in promoting food sovereignty and building a strong team
  • A two day workshop for La Via Campesina in 2023 to distill lessons from strategies for Peasant to Peasant Learning
  • The international ‘Seeding Transformation’ gathering of the Institute for Agroecology of the University of Vermont and its allies in 2023
