Join the association

To have access to the educational resources and to be listed as a facilitator, you need to join the association.

Learning and training

Train yourself using the resources provided (estimated time: 10 hours of self-training), then co-facilitate an initial workshop with an experienced facilitator.

Obtain professional accreditation

In order to be able to use the workshop as part of your professional activities, you will be required to run 3 workshops for the general public in the first year, followed by 2 volunteer workshops a year. These workshops allow you to practise before taking the plunge and to contribute to the association's mission of raising awareness.

Enhancing skills
in the circular economy

As a professional facilitator, you will have access to the educational resources in the Facilitator's Space after the training course. This is an interface that gives you access to educational resources for self-training and learning more about the circular economy and collective intelligence facilitation techniques (videos, self-training guides, circular solutions database, quizzes, checklists) so that you can feel at ease and organise your workshops as effectively as possible. Once your pro accreditation has been validated, you will have access to the resources specifically for professional facilitators (presentation brochure, discussion time dedicated to the pro community, etc.).

Important: the training course is common to both volunteers and self-employed professionals, and must be followed by a professional accreditation programme to enable you to use the tool in a commercial context.

A few answers
to your questions

FAQ

What does it mean to be a professional facilitator ?

This status is intended for members who join the association as individuals and wish to use the tools developed as part of their professional activities. These people are often independent consultants, members of a collective or represented by a legal entity (micro-business, EURL, etc.). Once they have completed their course and received their accreditation, Pro facilitators can use the tools developed by the association for commercial purposes, subject to payment of a usage fee (10 euros excluding VAT per workshop participant).

How much is the membership as professional facilitator ?

Membership as a Pro facilitator costs 80 euros per year. This gives you access to the ‘Professionals' Corner’, which includes communication resources (videos, flyers, prospecting kit) as well as discussion channels dedicated to the community of Pro facilitators.

What is the purpose of the membership ?

Joining the association gives you voting rights at the general assembly meeting. For facilitators who have completed the facilitator training course, the membership also gives you access to the Facilitator's Space which contains all the resources you need to complete your training and run workshops. The membership also enables you to stay in touch with the community of facilitators (communication channel, newsletter, regional communities), to benefit from the resources, formats and tools developed and to support the association's actions.

Why pay usage fees to the association ?

The Circular Economy Collage workshop is protected by the CC BY-NC-ND licence. It protects the formalised elements such as the facilitation methodology, the cards, their content, the correction (all the links between the cards), the duration and the sequence of the workshop. Initially, the licence that ensures the distribution of the tools developed does not authorise their use in a commercial context. For this reason, if the tools are to be used in a professional context, a usage fee must be paid to the authors. Elsa Bortuzzo and Anne-France Mariacher have chosen to donate all royalties to the association La Fresque de l’Economie Circulaire.

Details of the CC BY-NC-ND licence:
BY: I quote the authors at the beginning of the workshop.
NC: Non-commercial use - I pay a fee for commercial use.
ND: I do not modify the content of the workshop.

I'm the only person in my company who wants training. Can I sign up for a voluntary training session ?

Volunteer-pro training sessions are organised by volunteers and aimed at individuals or self-employed people. Inter-companies training sessions are organised on a regular basis. You can fill in this contact form to receive the next training dates.

What is the difference between a volunteer-pro training session and an inter-companies session ?

The inter-professionals training sessions last 3.5 hours and bring together professionals, generally salaried employees, who wish to become facilitators within their organisation. The content of the training is broadly similar to that of the volunteer-pro training, but the number of participants is limited to eight, and certain concepts relating to professional issues are explored in greater depth.
