Making Online Facilitation a Success
IAF has set up this webpage in response to COVID-19 and the needs of facilitators and the wider world who are struggling with collaborating remotely. The webpage includes 3 categories of resources:
1. EVENTS. Online meetings, webinars, and platform gatherings to learn about tools, techniques and platforms. These sessions are for everyone, and given by members, vendors & friends of the IAF.
2. RESOURCES. List of resources for virtual facilitation.
Please Note: Inclusion in this list should not be considered an endorsement of the tool from the IAF .
3. COMMUNITY. Online meetings offering support & conversation forums for facilitators who are trying to make sense of the crisis, re-planning, transforming their offerings and being present for each other.
We will promote this page across all social media, with the intention to feature & support our members, and be a rational voice in the overwelming amount of info that is flooding the market.#workingremote #WFH #virtualfacilitation.
PLEASE NOTE: The events and resources listed on this page will be constantly updated. If you have any information that you would like us to include on this page, kindly email Kelly McLaughlin at office@iaf-world.org
