A 2-day training in essential facilitation skills in complexity

More than ever we need the wisdom of the whole group to deal with complex challenges. How to anticipate the time after corona? How to help shape society, organisations and teams integrating the insights and practices that evolved in the past months and current situation? These (and other) conversations in small and large groups will need adequate facilitation.
