Inhoud
In this 15 EC module you will demonstrate your competences as an International Facilitator. You will build stakeholder trust and facilitate (change) processes and decision-making in culturally diverse groups. Learning in this module is guided by an unifying ‘capstone’ project that connects and aligns learning across all topics in the module. The project is supported by study units in communication & behaviour and international facilitation:
Communication and Behaviour
International facilitators assist organizations in implementing change by guiding individuals and groups to desired behavioural outcomes. Change in behaviour can take many forms such as accepting a new behaviour, abandoning an old behaviour, or switching to a different one. The student will analyze various theories and frameworks related to social and behavioural change and study the use of different communication approaches to address global and organizational challenges. Relevant case studies will be used in support of these theories (branding campaigns, social movements, political campaigns, etc.). The changing landscape of communication technologies and its connection with behavioural change will also be covered in this interdisciplinary study unit.
Intercultural Facilitation: professional training
In this hands-on training, the student will learn two group facilitation methods: the Focused Conversation Method and the Consensus Workshop Method. In addition, practical tools will be offered that enable energetic productive, inclusive and meaningful stakeholder participation. Culturally - based stakeholder assumptions and intercultural group dynamics will be a special focus area. The student develops a personal facilitative style and learns how to deal with resistance. At the end of the training the student develops the design for a meeting, event or workshop and co-facilitates (part of ) an offline or online session.
The different elements are assessed as integrative parts of the module’s master portfolio and in a competency-based interview.
