Essentials of Group Facilitation Dynamics

Facilitation tools, techniques and strategies can play an important role in ensuring a well-run meeting or engagement process. Useful facilitation techniques include planning agendas, active planning, creating the appropriate group environment, encouraging participation, and leading the group to reach its objectives. At UC Merced, we value facilitation techniques and would like our staff and faculty members to explore the basics of facilitation through our Facilitating Group Dynamics course which is comprised of two sessions.
