What do program participants say about the workshop?

• “This program provided me with great tools, and examples of how to use them and the opportunity to practice them. I love that we got to work on our own facilitation plan over the day, so I am leaving with a real plan ready to go. The group was a great size and were super engaged. I also really like that I am leaving today with a new network of fellow facilitators!” – Henry (Toowoomba, Qld)
• “Today was an invaluable, excellent experience. Very much focused on action learning, sharing knowledge and wonderful, respectful engagement from both facilitators and fellow participants. So much respect for Jo and Wendy!” – Lynne (Gympie, Qld)
