Community Facilitators’ Network
Kinharvie is now recruiting people working with communities in Glasgow to join this Network.
The Network is subsidised and is for those who have some experience of facilitation but who recognise that with greater skills and awareness and a wider range of tools they could better serve the groups communities with which they work.
The Network will meet monthly from September 2011 to May 2012. During this time members will receive training from Kinharvie certified facilitators and share ideas and challenges in a supportive environment which encourages growth in self-awareness, experimentation and the direct application of learning.
For more information about the Network see the Kinharvie website or contact Martin Pearson the Network Facilitator (0141-337-1070)
