Facilitation Skills are an integral component of management and leadership. This new program for 2013-14 addresses facilitation skills applicable in the workplace, to community groups and organizations and all levels of government.
The Facilitation Skills Certificate will provide participants with tools, techniques and practice in the foundation of facilitation. Participants will also explore complimentary skills such as conflict resolution, communication, problem solving and decision making. Workshops will be delivered by instructors skilled in facilitation who will provide feedback to participants on their practice in the classroom.
2) Upcoming Summer Festivals
Haiti Summer Festival

Everyone is invited to enjoy ice cream and strawberries and listen to some great live Island entertainment at the Haiti Summer Festival. It takes place at Kings Square in Charlottetown on August 3 from 12–5 pm. There will be face painting, cookie decorating for the kids, and a silent auction for the adults.
The goal of the festival is to raise funds to support projects in Haiti. ISCA (International Sustainable Community Assistance) completed a successful poultry project in Haiti this past May and are raising funds to continue supporting this development model.
