Online facilitation in English　

This is a study group to practice facilitation skills for online meetings. We are learning by role-play of real cases. The sessions are a realistic and hands-on learning experience thanks to the native English speakers helping us out.

■Purpose of this activity :　To expand the working functions of online meetings, especially now after the COVID-19 pandemic, and to make them more productive. Coronavirus has complicated communication because face-to-face meetings in the US and Japan have been replaced by teleconferences.

■Participants：　

  • Learners of online meeting facilitation in English.
  • Attendees as well as facilitators are welcome.
  • Those who provide sample cases are welcome too!!
