Cracking Facilitation

Join us for Cracking Facilitation, a two-day gathering designed to crack open facilitation processes, explore uncertainty and volatility, and embrace humility and humour. The world needs more cracking facilitators!

• Experience cracking sessions!
• Crack open facilitation processes and practices
• What a crack-up! Play and humour is welcome here. 

Cracking Facilitation is hosted on Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung Country by FODW (Facilitation One-Day Wonder) and AFN (Australasian Facilitators Network) with support from IAF (International Association of Facilitators). This professional/peer development event at the beautiful Abbotsford Convent in Collingwood, Melbourne offers fantastic opportunities for experienced and emerging facilitators.
