DESCRIPTION:Conservation Council SA is organising a series of one off ski
 lls trainings for members\, supporters and friends of the climate and en
 vironment justice movement in SA.&#13\;\n&#13\;\nWhy Facilitation?&#13\;
 \n&#13\;\nIn the face of the climate and biodiversity emergencies\, we d
 on't just need more activists\; we need activists who can work effective
 ly together. Environmental justice work is inherently complex\, involvin
 g messy systems\, high-pressure decision-making\, and deep emotional sta
 kes.&#13\;\n&#13\;\nFacilitation is the &quot\;secret sauce&quot\; of he
 althy and effective movements and organisations. It’s about creating spa
 ces where people feel heard\, valued\, and energized so they can move fo
 rward together.&#13\;\n&#13\;\nLed by a specialist Groupwork facilitator
  Che Biggs\, we dive into a practice based training incorporating:&#13\;
 \n&#13\;\nSome of the hardest facilitation involves working with strong 
 emotions and pop-up conflict\, but if we can navigate the heat wisely\, 
 these experiences are where we can often help individuals and groups mak
 e the biggest breakthroughs.&#13\;\n&#13\;\nIn this facilitation taster 
 session we will explore some fundamental elements for facilitating 'hot 
 spots’ and difficult conversations. Starting from a recognition that our
  own relationship with conflict and strong emotions will shape how we re
 spond as facilitators\, we will:&#13\;\n&#13\;\n    Normalise conflict i
 n groups and explore how ‘hot spots' are a source of significant insight
  and potential gateways for change.&#13\;\n&#13\;\n    Unpack our respon
 ses to conflict and some principles for navigating hot spots in ways to 
 that don’t ‘other' or shame.&#13\;\n&#13\;\n    Practice some communicat
 ion skills that can help us support those principles.&#13\;\n&#13\;\nBei
 ng only a short ‘taster' session that delves into some of the more emoti
 onally-laden elements of facilitation\, attendees are requested they hav
 e prior facilitation training experience. This workshop is designed to '
 go deep lightly’ and aimed at everyday hot-spots - not for resolving you
 r facilitation nightmares :). &#13\;\n&#13\;\nThe prior event Facilitati
 on Essentials was is an introduction and is a prerequisite to this event
  &quot\;Facilitation skills for difficult conversations - &quot\;Facilit
 ating Hot Spots.&quot\;&#13\;\n&#13\;\n&#13\;\n(Anyone with other facili
 tation training or enough experience is also eligible for this 'Part 2' 
 session).\n\nTags: Skills Training\, Facilitation training\, Organising\
