Who should attend?
You don’t need any previous experience facilitating experiential learning, but you do need an open mind. Our workshops always attract a healthy mix of consultants, L&D professionals and lecturers.
Certification
All attendees will receive MTa certification and can use the MTa Certified logo. Each participant will be expected to facilitate a short experiential task in a small group setting to demonstrate they can apply the MTa principals and approach.
What’s involved
This is a 2-day short course, in which you will gain and insight into effective facilitation. You will learn how to facilitate effective learning reviews in interactive workshop style training sessions.
Course Overview
The course is an experiential programme that is highly practical in nature. There will be a focus on developing skills that can be transferred immediately to the workplace. Expect a workshop that is hands-on and interactive with a focus on stimulating discussion, activity, and personal learning.
Structure
To help you learn how to make the most of MTa’s materials, as efficiently and effectively as possible we’ve structured the 2 day programme into 3 practical and thought-provoking sections.
Section 1: Experiential Learning in Action
This is the main section of the programme. Our approach is a practical one, and we believe that to truly learn how to make the most of MTa’s tools, you need to ‘feel’ how the activities work, and their impact on participants.
So, we start by immersing you in a typical MTa programme. You’ll take part in a specially designed MTa team and leadership development programme that begins with short yet surprisingly impactful activities from MTa Insights, and builds with longer and more challenging activities from the MTa Team KIT. It finishes with challenging leadership activities for either MTa Insights or MTa MINI.
Along the way we stop the activities and with your input, dissect and discuss the impact of the activities and reviews, their potential application and their effective facilitation.
You’ll get to discuss your ideas with your cohort, and learn from their collective experience.
If you were to replicate what you’ve experienced in this section you’d be able to run best practice experiential activities that develop leaders, build teams, improve communication skills and increase self-awareness and collaborative skills but also develop qualities of the mind – curiosity, judgement and critical thinking.
There’ll also be an opportunity to spend time exploring our coaching, lean, assessment and collaboration activities.
Section 2: The MTa Method and Process
In this section will look at the practicalities of working with the MTa methodology. We’ll enable you to:-
Select and sequence the 150 different MTa activities
Understand and develop the core skills required of an MTa facilitator and experiential facilitator in general
Understand the breadth and depth of learning offered by the MTa Kits, and how you can apply them
Section 3: Getting Hands-On
The workshop finishes with participants working in small groups to design and deliver a brief session using the shorter activities from MTa’s portfolio.
The section gives you an opportunity to apply all your learning from the previous section and gain confidence using the MTa tools and methodology.
There’s also an opportunity to receive feedback from the MTa facilitator and peers on personal strengths and areas for improvement as a facilitator of experiential learning. But don’t worry, this is always a fun yet informative section.
