Facilitation training in Brussels: design and run workshops that end in a decision
Two days to learn one universal structure for any workshop, the core activities for each phase and the facilitator's craft in the room. You leave with your next workshop fully designed. In Brussels you work in a group drawn from the EU institutions, associations, NGOs and consultancies, with your own upcoming session as the case from the first morning.

Why Brussels
Brussels is the workshop capital of Europe. EU institutions, associations, NGOs, consultancies and corporate public-affairs teams spend their days in meetings with people from twenty countries, mostly in English, and need sessions that end in a decision.
This training is built for that environment: a small international group, your own upcoming session as the case, and a structure that works whether the room is five people or fifty.

Questions
Questions about the facilitation training in Brussels
Do I need facilitation experience?
No. The training is for anyone who has to design and run workshops and wants a reliable structure, whether it is the first or the hundredth.
Why two days?
Day one gives you the structure and the activities. Day two is where you design your own workshop, run a section and get feedback. The second day is what makes it stick.
Is this a certification?
You receive a certificate of attendance from SkillDay. The training does not claim any external accreditation.
Where does the training take place?
At Regus Brussels Central Station, Rue des Colonies 11, 1000 Brussels, next to Bruxelles-Central. You receive the exact room with your booking confirmation.
How does invoicing work for Belgian companies and EU bodies?
You can book by invoice. Prices are net; VAT is handled according to the status and location of your organisation. We answer questions on this before you book.
Will the training definitely run?
From three paying participants. If we are below that 14 days before the date, we cancel and refund in full.
Can I book the Brussels training with colleagues?
Yes. From three people from one organisation, send us a short note and we reserve the seats on one invoice. From six people an inhouse date at your offices in Brussels or Luxembourg is usually the better option.
