Week 2 (February 6th 10.30am-12noon)

Many parishes are seeing online groups as part of their long-term strategy, recognising that the downside of not being together in person is more than offset by increased accessibility of online groups. However it can feel like a minefield to get started. This is the second in our online groups series and will look at:

• Leading your group: welcome and house rules
• How to make your group interactive - using chat, breakout groups, showing videos etc
• Maintaining mometum between meetings
• Keeping everyone safe: confidentiality and disclosures
• Leading prayer

The workshops are suitable for anyone looking to get groups going online.

Please note: we will not be talking about groups for children and under 18s as additional safeguarding rules apply. Please contact Neil Roseman for youth ministry queries (neil@nymo.org) or Alex Heath for anything to do with catechetical groups (heath@nores.org.uk). Danielle Dixon is our safeguarding officer, safeguarding@northamptondiocese.com, and lots of advice can be found on the CSAS website: https://www.csas.uk.net/procedures-manual/#cat-4.
