Facilitation is the art of accompanying collective processes
As I walk the learning path of facilitation, I continue expanding my capacity to embrace diversity of people, processes and tools. Most of my experience comes from my own involvement in collective processes and organizations. I strongly believe that academic environments can benefit from facilitation in their transition towards more collaborative practices.
Interdisciplinarity
Open dialogue between different academic fields in search for shared understanding of each other perspectives and tools. Experiment with different forms of integration between them.
