OV Facilitators

Over 12 sessions, you will experience practical facilitation training from The Old Vic Education & Community team and guest creative practitioners as you learn about different workshop delivery practices.

Areas of training will include:

• Communication and presentation
• Leadership
• Practical facilitation skills
• Writing and creating workshop plans
• Behaviour Management
• CV and Interview skills
• Inclusive practice
• Safeguarding

This free programme will help you hone your own delivery style and build a toolkit of techniques and exercises. Your training will culminate with you devising and delivering your own workshop alongside your fellow OV Facilitators. All facilitators will be paid a fee for their final workshops.

To support this skills development, you will observe an Old Vic Education & Community workshop, connect with an Old Vic mentor and watch an Old Vic production.
