Facilitating Learning and Change Workshop
July 30 @ 9:00 am - July 31 @ 3:00 pm
Effective extension is about more than sharing information, it’s about creating learning experiences that inspire confidence, encourage action and support lasting change.
Join extension officers, advisors, facilitators, researchers and industry professionals for this interactive two-day workshop with agricultural extension specialist Jeanette Long from Ag Consulting Co.
Drawing on adult learning principles and practical extension experience, this workshop will explore how people learn, what drives behaviour change, and how to design and facilitate engaging learning opportunities that deliver real impact.
Participants will gain practical skills and tools to strengthen their facilitation approach, improve group engagement and create learning environments that support peer-to-peer learning and knowledge adoption.
Key topics include:
- The role of facilitation in agricultural extension
- Understanding how adults learn and adopt new information
- Creating engaging and effective learning experiences
- The value of peer-to-peer learning
- Working effectively with subject matter experts and researchers
- Techniques to set groups and events up for success
