Facilitation work in Potchefstroom
Potchefstroom is a university town with a large army base, which makes it unusual among North West cities. The campus brings academic conferences, staff development days and short courses, while the military presence adds its own training rhythm. Agricultural research and the surrounding grain farms bring farmer days and co-operative sessions, and the Mooi River frames a quiet town centre with guest houses and small conference venues. Schools, including several boarding schools, book staff development and leadership camps. Facilitators often come from Johannesburg, about 90 minutes away on the N12, but many local academics and consultants also facilitate. Student holidays change which venues and accommodation are free.
The requests we see from Potchefstroom usually come from:
- Schools, colleges and universities: staff development days, district meetings and principals' conferences in a neutral venue
- Small and family businesses: a first strategy session or sales day in a small room with teas and lunch included
