Resources
Facilitation resources
These are some of my favourite processes and activities for meetings, events, conferences, strategy workshops and retreats.
Lots of resources just give a summary overview which leaves you with a lot to learn in practice – so these resources go into further detail.
Check back soon as I’ll add more resources on critical and design thinking, reflection, story, embodiment, creativity and experiential learning.
Intelligent networks
These participatory processes turn meetings into intelligent networks where people can connect, share, learn and take action together
If you are interested to learn more on the methodology, you can read the summary of an academic paper I co-authored with colleagues at The University of Suffolk.
