Facilitation and Project Management for All (In-person)

Instructor  | Jessica Farrell, Redstart Works

THURSDAY, MARCH 13, 2025 (REGISTRATION CLOSES ON FEBRUARY 28TH)

Are you new to collaborative work or are you looking for a new perspective on how to move projects along? "Facilitation and Project Management for All" demystifies collaborative work in the face of all of those #feelings that emerge when working in diverse groups. Significant administrative and planning labor goes into developing anti-oppressive spaces. We will cover topics like setting expectations, making direct asks of your colleagues, building consensus, moving to action, and more. We will explore empathetic facilitation, honest communication, and meeting people where they are. There are several full group discussions, and we will practice an advanced facilitation method called "taking stack" This workshop may be useful if you are working on a community project, committee, or working group; if you are managing a project or program team; or if you aspire to lead or coordinate work in the future.
