cofacilitators
Shared session leaders
Cofacilitators are two or more people who share responsibility for leading a group activity, meeting, or workshop.
The term appears frequently in educational, therapeutic, and corporate settings where collaborative leadership is preferred: The cofacilitators took turns guiding the discussion.
The arrangement allows facilitators to divide tasks, support each other, and bring different perspectives to the group.
