Design Impactful Learning Interventions: Master training conceptualization and explore approaches like systems thinking and problem framing to ensure training interventions are targeting the right problems.

Integrate Artificial Intelligence into Learning Design: Leverage generative AI in the instructional design process, while considering ethical implications and applying prompt engineering techniques effectively.

Promote Inclusivity in Training: Foster transformative training environments by applying the five inclusivity lenses throughout the training cycle, actively identifying barriers, and committing to concrete actions that ensure equal opportunities for all.

Apply Conflict-Sensitive Facilitation: Understand potential causes of tension in multi stakeholder meetings and learn to use facilitation strategies, techniques, and tools to navigate tensions and foster increased understanding, respect, and constructive dialogue. 

Explore the Inner Art of Facilitation: Reflect on and develop your personal facilitation style, focusing on self-awareness, emotional intelligence, and your inner qualities that contribute to effective facilitation.

The Masterclass is structured around six (6) live online sessions, each focusing on a key aspect of facilitation and learning design. 

  • Session 1 - Strategic Learning Design (Tuesday 12 November)
  • Session 2 - Artificial Intelligence for Learning Design (Thursday 14 November)
  • Session 3 - Inclusivity Essentials for Trainers (Tuesday, 19 November)
  • Session 4 - Conflict Sensitive Facilitation (Thursday, 21 November)
  • Session 5 - The Inner Art of Facilitation (Tuesday, 26 November)
  • Session 6 - Q&A and Closing (Thursday, 28 November)

Exclusive BONUS! Participants gain access to our self-paced Training of Trainers eLearning course  (worth $500 USD), which offers a comprehensive exploration of training design and delivery, with a focus on practical application.

The Masterclass employs a blended learning approach, combining synchronous live sessions with asynchronous eLearning. The live sessions are highly interactive, featuring discussions that encourage active participation. The eLearning course complements these sessions, allowing participants to deepen their understanding at their own pace. The methodology is grounded in experiential learning, ensuring that participants can directly apply what they learn to their professional contexts.

This Masterclass is ideal for:

  • Trainers, facilitators, and learning and development (L&D) professionals who are responsible for designing and delivering training programs.
  • Independent consultants in the training and development sector.
  • Professionals looking to enhance their facilitation skills and apply advanced learning design principles to their work.

Duration: The Masterclass Series includes 6 live sessions of 3 hours each. The sessions will take place on Tuesdays and Thursdays for 3 weeks, from Tuesday 12 November until Thursday 28 November 2024.

Time: Live sessions will take place from 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM CET. The self-paced Training of Trainers eLearning Course will be available to participants once their application is approved, with access granted for one year. 

Certificates: Participants will receive a United Nations Certificate of Participation upon completing the live Masterclass sessions. They are required to attend at least 3 of the 6 live sessions. Additionally, a Certificate of Completion will be awarded upon successful completion of the self-paced Training of Trainers eLearning course.
