This new event will enable facilitators of economic and social change processes to guide and shape the collaboration of stakeholder groups and networks.
The course will equip facilitators to assist stakeholders in making sense collectively, exploring possibilities, adjusting their strategies, and improving mutual collaboration. In a nutshell, the event is about enabling change and innovation between organisations and stakeholders, as well as within organisations or teams.
The content will focus on:
- Improving the dynamics of how stakeholders make sense, strategise and learn to work together.
- Improving the quality of dialogue and information flows through creative facilitation methods suitable for standalone events or iterative processes.
- Leading search, discovery and adjustment processes that result in trust, innovation and organisational strengthening in development.
- Introduce participants to facilitation methods based on complexity thinking, which enable better decision-making despite uncertainty or incomplete social institutions.
Who should participate in this event?
The Mesopartner Academy is ideally suited for facilitators and project managers who guide processes involving various stakeholders or networks, and will help them to collaborate on identifying possibilities, collectively making sense of issues and adjusting strategies at both network and organisational levels. Experts supporting meso organisations in strategising and innovating in turbulent contexts would find this event beneficial. Facilitators of bottom-up improvement processes – where a community or network is trying to make sense of changes, or where a network is actively trying to discover or explore alternative futures – would also gain from attending the event.
Every organisation and social and economic development project requires such facilitation skills to navigate work effectively despite uncertainty, changing stakeholder dynamics, and volatile market or regulatory conditions.
What will participants gain from the event?
Participants of the Mesopartner Academy will have the opportunity to develop or enhance their process facilitation skills. Each participant will receive a Systemic Insight facilitation toolkit with templates, supporting documentation and access to a community of experts using the methodology to enable social change and learning. They will be equipped with modular frameworks, concepts, selected methods and tools, and will gain simulated experience in combining and adjusting these instruments to different contexts. In various configurations, these instruments offer a consistent guide for navigating small and large development processes and making decisions in uncertain situations.
Participants will leave the training on Friday and be able to start using their newly equipped toolbox and facilitation approach on Monday, reframing and reinvigorating the processes or networks they lead or participate in.
