Summary

The Learning to Facilitate Interactively guide contains discussion and role-play exercises for developing facilitation techniques that reflect the principles of inclusive and participatory leadership, and help facilitators create environments that engage participants in their own leadership development. Through skills-building exercises, facilitators gain the acumen to promote participative listening, share responsibility for leading activities, stimulate discussion, encourage enthusiasm for divergent opinions, and work cooperatively.

This guide is part of the Leading to Choices Multimedia Toolkit for Leadership Learning, a three-part training package that builds women's skills to communicate effectively, facilitate participatory learning environments, and mobilize powerful advocacy campaigns. This package has been an integral component of WLP’s Training of Trainers (TOT) program since 2003, and continues to be used by women leaders across the Global South.

This guide is also available for download in the complete Leading to Choices Multimedia Facilitators Toolkit.
