Making Magic Happen: Keeping It Lively

Two-hour training with Rivera Sun
Thursday December 7, 2023
4-6pm Pacific / 5-7pm Mountain / 6-8pm Central / 7-9pm Eastern
$30, scholarships available

Energize. Inspire. Engage. Keeping it lively in virtual trainings takes skill and creativity. In this two-hour webinar with Rivera Sun, explore how you can keep people awake, active, and ready for more. We’ll look at everything from how to structure your webinar to how to use breakout rooms skillfully. Along the way, you’ll get a closer look at how to make the chatbox useful (not distracting), how to vary discussion, Q & A, and slides, and how to use short videos to infuse a sense of fun and entertainment into your training. This course is useful for anyone interested in doing online presentations, whether that’s a formal webinar or an informal teach-in with a group of friends. Everyone is welcome from beginners to seasoned instructors. 

You will learn:

  • How to plan a fun and lively course

  • How to use participatory exercises

  • How tech can engage (without getting complicated)

  • How to use music, photos, art, poetry to liven things up

  • How, when, and why to use breakout rooms

  • And more … 

Pace e Bene trainers have facilitated dozens of courses and trained thousands of people online. Our course participants appreciate our personable, heart-centered approach. We emphasize participatory learning and use tech to tap into group knowledge and wisdom. From meditations to games to immersive exercises to role plays, we have skills to share with you about how to lead trainings with joy, laughter, soulfulness, humanness and professionality. Our approach to technology is to keep it simple and seamless, prioritizing human connection and deep learning. On top of this, we are fearless and playful in trying new things with virtual tech, leading to some of the most enjoyable and meaningful courses in nonviolence available online.
