Facilitation and negotiation skills are central to a range of approaches relevant to health, education, and business practices. These include, but are not limited to, individual and group therapy, mediation, conflict management, teaching and training, psychoeducation, and the facilitation of learning. Consequently, some key areas of practice are contingent on sound knowledge of appropriate design frameworks and the capacity to utilise process skills effectively.

SynopsisThe course is divided into two parts. One part concerns the theories and principles which underpin models of facilitation and negotiation. Topics include theories of facilitation, principles of process design, evaluation models applicable to facilitated processes, reflective practice, and facilitation microskills. The second aspect of the course focuses on application of theories and skill development in group settings. Students are required to demonstrate process design, facilitation microskills, and process management, in a structured and supported group learning task.
