This training is held in German.

Workshops often don’t go as well as they could. This is frequently due to unclear goals and expectations, insufficient preparation and planning, and the wrong attendees. By avoiding these common pitfalls, workshops and meetings can be made significantly more efficient and successful. In this practical training, you’ll learn how to prepare workshops and meetings—both methodologically and in terms of content—so that they achieve their full potential and the group can work together to develop good results. During the training, you’ll experience many workshop methods “in real life”: check-ins and check-outs, 1-2-4-All, warm-ups, and, of course, the entire structure of the day, including breaks, buffer times, etc. The trainer will demonstrate how the role of the facilitator can be effectively fulfilled.
