THE NETHERLANDS – Master the Art of Participation & Moderation Workshop
Unlock the Power of Participation & Effective Moderation
Gone are the days when governments could push plans unilaterally, management dictated decisions from the top, and stakeholders passively nodded in agreement. Today, we engage, co-create, and collaborate towards a better world, a stronger community, and a more effective workplace.
Dagvoorzitter.nl offers two specialized workshops to help you facilitate participatory meetings smoothly and effectively—whether discussions are harmonious or filled with contrasting viewpoints.
🔹 Workshop: Participation & Moderation
This workshop focuses on the crucial role of moderating and designing programs at different stages of participatory processes. Learn how to bring people together, even when their interests conflict.
🔹 Workshop: Challenging Meetings
This session delves into the organizational and programmatic aspects of high-stakes meetings where emotions, interests, and even conflicts take center stage.
You can attend these workshops independently or as a combination.
