The page below is for the facilitor (you can still read if you are interested).
- create welcoming environment
- make sure that we can develop ideas further and that not one person dominates discussion
- 1-1 meetings miss the part where you create ideas from ideas
- fully separate idea creation (all ideas are great!) from idea filtering/selection (both can go into different meetings)
- Facilitator should focus on facilitating (otherwise facilitator opinion can become group opinions)
- https://miro.com/app/board/uXjVN2zliSI=/
- visually separate areas
- concept board (sticky notes require to be space efficient and allow to create visual clusters and moving); Miro can be the tool
- make questions smaller
- start with everybody taking notes by themselves ("me"; for ourselves)
- second step: formalize and place on concept board ("we"; randomized 1-1 pairs)
- third step: we review and discuss as a group ("us")
- make sure that the facilitator understood what the group wanted
- time-keeping is important (keep things short and on time)
- divergence, then convergence
- consider voting
Questions
- "Needs": In your current position, what do you need in order to be able to contribute to the project 1 year from now? (in terms of work time, financing, governance, administration, accounting, leadership)
- "Wants" What do you wish from the project in terms of lesson portfolio, format, and collaboration in order to still be around 1 year from now?
