The Threefold Approach to Facilitation
This three-day training teaches the threefold approach to facilitation: a person-centered attitude, awareness of the system we work with, and knowledge of various methods to use in the appropriate situation. Facilitation is a participatory approach that helps a group to exchange effectively and co-construct by utilizing the knowledge of each individual in the group.
Here is an evaluation of one of these training sessions from March 2023 (14 participants) (in French).
Mastering collective intelligence facilitation: tools and techniques for concrete results
In this three-day training, participants experience and learn to master classic methods of collective intelligence facilitation such as World Café, Open Space, or Future Search, as well as techniques for better handling unexpected situations, such as the 'weather report' to defuse rising tensions or the 'emergency intervention' when a process dangerously goes off track.
Accompanying Territorial Dialogue Processes – Focus on Co-construction
This three-day training provides a comprehensive view of how to accompany territorial dialogue processes. Territorial Dialogue is used in urban planning but also in the management of natural resources (biodiversity, water, forests, wetlands) and agriculture.
The training provides participants with all the elements they need to support territorial dialogue processes – findings the right stakeholders, selecting them, co-designing the process and more.
Conflict Management in Conservation Contexts
How do we want to live with nature? Can we agree on something that allows humans and other species to coexist? If so, how?
This 5-day training is for you if you want to:
- Acquire a good understanding of how to manage conflicts at the personal and interpersonal level, as well as at the socio-ecological systems level.
- Refine your mediation and conflict facilitation skills in human-environment contexts.
- Learn the language and practice of participatory approaches in these contexts to understand how to integrate these approaches into your work (for example, to improve conservation policy).
Systemic Constellations
Systemic constellations are a recent approach to help one or more people see more clearly next steps in a complex situation, to leave behind a concern, and to be motivated to take the next step.
As a "holistic language," constellations involve the whole person: body, consciousness, cognition, feelings, will. They allow us to see more clearly on difficult decisions. Thus, constellations are a powerful tool for accompanying change: for oneself, another person, or teams. They help unlock projects, gain new momentum in a difficult situation, and see much more clearly on action options.
The objective of this training is to be able to use the approach of constellations independently by the end of the three modules, but also to integrate different components of this approach into one's own practice as a coach, mediator, or facilitator. It also offers the opportunity to make progress on difficult situations - whether professional or personal - that you encounter.
Understanding and facilitating case clinics: From theory to action
This training addresses essential aspects such as the facilitator's posture, Nonviolent Communication, and the systemic analysis of complex professional situations. These elements form the indispensable foundations for effectively establishing case clinics. The second part of the training is dedicated to the practical application of this methodology, allowing participants to experiment with and master the facilitation of case clinics in real-life situations.
Evaluations
We evaluate our training sessions anonymously, gathering specific feedback for each of them. Of course, criticisms are also part of this feedback. However, most comments are positive, which is also reflected in the numerical evaluations.
Here is a complete evaluation (in French).
Examples of positive comments:
Facilitation Training: "Concrete cases - theoretical contributions but not too much! - numerous methods - good atmosphere - I had reservations, I have much fewer now." (City of Paris employee)
Territorial Dialogue Training: "The trainer practices what he teaches " (Professional from the Nancy region)
Conflict Management Training: “It was an incredibly insightful experience. Yorck was able to bring the group together and keep the mood light despite the content and the need for focus” (European professional)
Systemic Constellations Training: "Dynamic training with active engagement from participants. Quality listening, assistance for speaking up. The trainer is rich in resources, able to indicate his limits, and favors flexibility. This is reassuring and supportive." (Researcher or professional from the Montpellier region)
