Anew School of Facilitation

An absolutely outstanding experience and steep learning curve for different experience levels. Marike and Clinton go above and beyond to explain the practical steps and the thinking behind each and every type of facilitation.

They practice 100% what they preach, set very helpful examples and are open to all types of questions. I can’t recommend it more.

At the Anew School of Facilitation, you'll explore what it takes to design and facilitate gatherings and events that are connected, innovative, inspiring and transformative.

This programme may be right for you if you regularly bring together groups of people. You might be a team leader, executive, founder, educator, event organiser, full-time facilitator, or something entirely different.

If you're actively thinking about how to make your gatherings better and seeking facilitator training, the Anew School of Facilitation is the next step in your development journey.

Friendship is important to Anew.
