In this workshop, participants will be introduced to the fundamentals of conducting focus groups. We will explore the purpose and benefits of focus groups, how to plan a focus group, select participants, and develop an effective discussion guide. We will also discuss how to professionally moderate focus groups, manage group dynamics, and analyze and report on the insights gained from focus groups. Through practical exercises and examples, attendees will gain the tools needed to organize focus groups and unlock new perspectives.

ELS Academy’s No-Show Policy:
Please note that the workshops are given by experts in the field who do this on a voluntary basis. Places are often limited and we have people on the waiting list. For this reason, the ELS Academy has a strict no-show policy. In case you are prevented from attending the workshop, kindly send an email to contact@elsacademy.nl at least 48 hours before the workshop to make space for people on the waiting list.
If you do not attend the workshop without prior cancellation, your supervisor will be informed about your no-show and you will not be able to register for another ELS Academy event for the next two months. This is also very unfortunate for us, however, it can be prevented if we receive a simple cancellation via e-mail.
Thank you for understanding and see you there!
