Spring 2026 Workshops are open!

Watch this video for an ASL description of the workshop series!

The Spring Workshop Series is back for 2026!

Curious about expanding your anti-oppressive and peer-based facilitation skills? Interested in learning within an intersectional and decolonial framework? Join us for 2 interactive, virtual workshops in March.

Our workshops are small (capped at 15 participants) and involve peer-based learning, experiential activities, and group discussions. We aim to accommodate a variety of access needs – see accessibility description below. Our workshops are interactive and are not webinar/presentation format. If you are no longer able to attend a workshop, please let us know by emailing alexa@peernetbc.com so that we can let someone else in from the waitlist.

While this is a series of workshops, you do not need to attend each session. Each workshop may have a different time. Please make sure to register for each workshop topic so you can stay up to date on any related news or deliverables from that session.

We have ASL available for all workshops.

In addition to hosting our workshops online, we would like to take this space to also remind our readers that we are still working from home due to Covid-19. Phone calls may take longer than usual to receive a response. We suggest emailing us at: info@peernetbc.com, if you need to contact us.

Foundations of Facilitation

March 9, 5:00 – 7:30pm PST

What is a facilitator and what skills do we need to facilitate? This workshop will discuss what a facilitator’s role is in a group. Participants will explore foundational tools for facilitating and how to create safer, more supportive, and productive peer-led groups. This introductory workshop is open to folks with little or no facilitation experience as well as those with facilitation experience looking to brush up on their foundational skills and connect with peers.

Facilitating Group Decisions and Difficult Dynamics

March 14, 10:00 – 12:30pm PST

This workshop builds confidence in handling tricky moments in facilitation while centering anti-oppressive and intersectional approaches. We will explore a framework for group decision-making and how to navigate common, real-life challenges that occur when facilitating dynamic and diverse groups. This workshop is for those who have taken our Foundations of Facilitation workshop and/or who have experience facilitating groups.

Although we are gathering in a digital space, we would like to humbly acknowledge that our organization predominantly does our work on the stolen and unceded homelands and territories of sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), sel̓íl̓witulh (Tsleil-Waututh), and xwməθ kwəy̓əm (Musqueam) nations.
