Overview 

The Facilitation 1 training course focuses primarily on the structure of the nni dialogue process as a vehicle to achieve the above outcomes. You will learn how to go through each of the steps of an nni dialogue process dialogue – all the way from creating an agreement with your participants, through topic selection and identifying the voices (places for people to speak from or to, which show the different sides to a selected topic), into helping each voice to dive deeper into emotion and then further to shared essence. You will also learn to facilitate the process of returning to the reality of the participants’ current lived experience, which will enable them to go out into the world and make real and lasting change, transforming their teams, organisations, communities, countries and the world.

This course includes both theoretical (30%) and experiential (70%) training. You will learn the theory of the methodology, as well as apply this theory through participation in dialogues.

When we talk about changing the system. We mean going beyond individual issues to also tackle the challenges of our institutional structures, dynamics and their linkages to other systems.

Working with underlying systemic drivers addressing the root causes which are often intractable and embedded in networks of cause and effect. This is what systemic change is an intentional process designed to fundamentally alter the components and structure.
