Facilitation is particularly useful at meetings and forums. Facilitation encourages civil discourse of critical issues.
Facilitation is also a tool for problem-solving between disputing parties.
Human Relations and Educational Services can assign co-facilitators to work with departments, colleges, and student groups to facilitate meetings, series of discussions, dialogue or forums. The co-facilitators will work with the parties on an assessment of the issues and assist the group in designing an agenda for discussing those issues in preparation for the facilitation session. A plan of action, next steps, assignments, or an agreement are the general products of these facilitation sessions.
