RSVP for New Facilitator Training: live session
We are super excited that you are on your way to become a Climate for Change facilitator!
This 3-hour training session will:
- prepare you with knowledge of our Conversation Program's history,
- provide you an opportunity to further explore and craft your own personal narrative, and
- lets you practice the skills needed to get started with facilitating your own Conversations.
Successful completion of the live session will require you to complete the relevant preparation materials found in Course 1: Talking about climate change and the first chapter of Course 2: Facilitating Climate Conversations. These are found in our online learning platform.
PLEASE NOTE: As part of the facilitator training process, you will be supported by a mentor in a small group. You'll be part of the mentor group from now until just after you facilitate your first Conversation. There are three main touch-points; a session to connect, a Climate Conversation facilitated on Zoom by your mentor (where you and other group members each invite 2-3 guests along) with a debrief afterward, and a session a few weeks later to plan or debrief your first Conversation as facilitator.
It's really important that you're able to make it to each of these sessions (in addition to the live training session). They're all essential stepping stones towards becoming a facilitator and it will be hard to catch you up on the training afterwards if you miss a date. Before signing up to a Mentor group, make sure that you're able to make it to each of these dates, and put them in your diary straight up.
