Hi,
Though many people had asked but i saw no practical information on how to develop and design a workshop. I hope this helps. Pls feel free to add in your feedback or improvements. i also have a lot to learn.
Thank you.
To design a training program first finalize the topic and it's objectives, time for workshop and no. of participants.
Once you are clear with the objectives of the program line them up.
eg, topic self esteem
Objectives:
1. Self Appraisal
2. Self Analysis
3. Self Acceptance
4. Self Appreciation
5. Identification of negative self talk
6. Positive Self talk
7. Implementation of positive self talk
8. Positive Self Esteem
Now as per the time and no. of participants the objectives have to be explained or implemented thru practice by the method of games, quizzes, discussions, write ups, examples, etc.
In the end do not forget to complete the workshop with a wind up session which takes the participants thru the objectives of the workshop in a go.
Best of Luck.

Dear Smita,
To reach out and attract more people for workshops is more of marketing. it depends on which leve/category are you looking for. School level or corporate level. if you are lloking for students/children it would be advisable to advertise in and around schools and colleges. And if you are looking at the corporate level i would advise you to first tie up with some good no of corporates to conduct workshops within their premises and then use the brands in your advertisements.

It is not very clear what type of Workshop is proposed to be organised i.e. Awareness workshop or problem-solving or performance improvement Workshop.
i) Define objective of the Workshop i.e. what is intended to be achieved after the Workshop OR define the problem or performace issues.
ii) In case of difficulty at stage (i), consult experts / the department concerned thru informal interviews or structured questionnaires. (Spend time on stage (i) & (ii) for ultimate success.)
iii) Identify the target group or level of participants whether vertical or horizontal teams or mixed teams
iii) Design Workshop sessions \ contents as suggested below (depending upon objectives of Workshop)
iv) Opening remarks / address by the an Expert on the Subject
v) Presentation by participants (in team or as individual) on the issues to be addressed i.e. sharing of issues, concerns and existing approach / ways of dealing with things
vi) Summarise Learning points after presentation at (v)
vii) Give inputs on problems identified and inputs on problem solving tools or guide the group in find possible solution to identified problems or issues
viii) Make Groups, depending upon identified issues, for brain-storming and action planning
ix) Presentation of Action Plans to a panel of experts or to the entire group of participants for refining action plans. Circulate Action plans among the particiapnts or HoDs so that resources are made available during implementation
xi) Follow-up of action plans atleat after six months

This way one can design a Workshop of duration more than one day to four days. Awareness Workshops should not exceed one or one & a half day
Ply try and give feedback
