Anas Chahi

EXPERIENTIAL FACILITATION

Professional Overview

Anas designs and facilitates interactive workshops for adult professionals. Across nonprofit, education, entrepreneurship, and international settings, he helps groups move from discussion toward useful shared outputs. His experience includes roles in team facilitation, instructional and learning experience design, leadership, and project coordination with AIESEC, Levoro Academy, Forward Inc, and Social Hackers Academy.

His core focus is leadership development, team alignment, multicultural collaboration, and experiential learning. He begins with a diagnostic conversation to understand the organization’s context, then adapts the agenda and tools to the desired outcome. Sessions may combine facilitation, training, applied analysis, and practical recommendations.

FIVE WORKSHOP OPTIONS

Workshops with a tangible takeaway

Each workshop can be tailored to the team’s context. Optional follow-up consultation helps organizations put the resulting tools into practice.

METHOD & PROCESS

A useful conversation before, during, and after

Anas uses a preparation meeting to clarify the challenge, audience, and desired outcome. During the workshop he tracks participation and the agreed purpose, while adapting to what emerges. A debrief and later progress check can help determine whether the work is moving the organization’s challenge forward.

His toolkit draws on Nonviolent Communication, Liberating Structures, World Café-style discussion, non-formal education, Universal Design for Learning, and reflective goal setting. He facilitates on Zoom, Google Meet, or Microsoft Teams and uses collaborative tools such as Miro, Mural, Padlet, Collaboard, Canva, and Google Slides.

IN HIS WORDS

Facilitation Philosophy

Inclusive by design. Flexible in practice.

“I believe that a good workshop facilitator or consultant is someone who creates an inclusive and engaged space where power dynamics are leveled, ensuring that every participant’s voice and idea is equally welcomed and invited. Rather than delivering a casual, one-way session, I see the facilitator’s role as designing an experiential learning journey that transforms passive listeners into active participants who learn, grow, and achieve through collective effort and doing. A skilled facilitator also anticipates the unexpected — preparing in advance for change so they can adapt in the moment while remaining anchored to the core purpose of the workshop. This disciplined flexibility is especially important when an organization’s initial request may not fully reflect its deeper underlying need, and the facilitator must adapt the process to serve that deeper purpose. When it comes to the workshop hub, I believe Online Workshop Hub’s strength lies in fostering ongoing communication and mutual commitment among all parties — facilitators, teams, and clients. The hub’s role is not simply to match facilitators with clients, but to actively strengthen facilitators’ abilities, build and spread their credibility based on their expertise, and ensure that shared values connect all parties involved in a spirit of cross-collaboration and shared responsibility. A good organizational client, in my view, brings a genuine understanding of their own challenges and a clear sense of the outcomes they are seeking. The partnership should be structured across three stages: a preparation meeting before the workshop to properly understand needs and requirements; active tracking during the session to ensure it reflects what was agreed upon; and a debrief after the workshop to reflect on what went well and what could be improved, followed by a progress check after a defined period of time to assess whether the organizational challenge has meaningfully moved forward.”
