Art with Heart be will returning to Tameside Creative Network to deliver a very fun and informative workshop on how to facilitate your own workshop! (yes, a workshop on workshops!)
This workshop is run by AwH Co-Creative Director Sarah Emmott who is their lead facilitator for young audiences. Sarah has worked as a facilitator and educator since 2006 in a range of cultural, educational, youth and prison settings, collaborating nationally with organisations including Belgrade Theatre Coventry, BBC Learning, Contact, The Proud Trust and Institute of Cultural Affairs UK. Sarah’s projects have included school transitions, politics and debating, and working with former gang members. In this session, we will explore different types of workshops, including teaching skills, making meaning and unpacking difficult subjects.
This workshop will cover:
- Different types of workshops
- How to structure a session plan
- Facilitation skills
- How to deepen the meaning for participants
- The importance of tone and asking good questions
- Top tips!
