HAWAII AoH TRAINING

THE ART OF FACILITATION: LEADING SOCIAL INNOVATION FOR CHANGE

OVERVIEW

The Art of Facilitation brings the globally recognized practice of the Art of Hosting (AoH), for the first time to our islands. This training will teach new skills and provide frameworks for Hawaii’s leaders and facilitators to build strong core teams, work with community and stakeholders, identify and leverage common ground and lead systemic change. You will learn to host meaningful conversations, harvest the intelligence of our diverse communities, find shared purpose, and implement strategies for change.  AoH cultivates facilitative leadership and collaboration using frameworks that invite curiosity, non-judgment, generosity, and wise action. This training will teach new skills for innovation across all forms of multi-stakeholder systems.

The types of questions we will explore include:

·  How do we build strong core teams and activate a community of learning in our organizations?

·  What methodologies, frameworks and ways of working together can help us tap into our shared purpose so that together, we can create wiser impact and systemic change?

·  How can we co-create a thriving environmentally and socially just future for Hawaii?

THE TRAINING

You will experience and learn practical facilitation tools through action-learning including:

·       Process-design
