The seminar is designed to:
1. Identify and examine key components of facilitation and link facilitation challenges with possible solutions.
2. Create a rigorous dialogue among the students and instructors. Participants' experience, their perceptions and their reactions to the ideas will, in part, determine what and how much is learned.
3. Provide a forum for the students to clarify their facilitation capacities and goals and to share their experiences with each other.
4. Brief students on theories and practical tools and techniques of facilitation.
5. Enhance facilitation skills and assist learners in developing facilitation strategies for their own work and practice.
