Introduction<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Good workshop planning is key when facilitating workshops, training, and events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Often details of your workshop planning might be scattered across several mediums but this canvas brings it all together in a workshop template.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Importantly it helps you think holistically about the details of your workshop covering the 6 P’s of Workshop Preparation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to use it?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Whenever you start planning a workshop, start by thinking across these dimensions and adding relevant information for each.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The canvas can be used individually but is a great tool to communicate with your facilitation team and key stakeholders of your workshops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once you have several examples, previous workshop canvases allow you to accelerate the planning of future sessions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Use this workshop template to reduce your anxiety of forgetting small details, keep everyone on the same page and build confidence that the workshop will be awesome!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
