This sourcebook is for all who work with others on participatory learning and change. It provides ideas and options for facilitators, trainers, teachers and presenters, and anyone who organises and manages workshops, courses, classes and other events for sharing and learning.
Drawing on a rich variety of experiences and ideas from innovators in many countries, and on the author’s own efforts and errors, it is written in a spirit of critical reflection and serious fun. Presenting 21 sets of ideas, activities and tips, this sourcebook covers topics such as getting started, seating arrangements, forming groups, managing large numbers, helping each other learn, analysis and feedback, dealing with dominators, evaluation and ending, coping with horrors, and common mistakes.
The ’21s’ are designed to make sharing, learning and teaching more participatory, enjoyable and effective: in voluntary, government and private sector organisations; in schools, universities and training institutes; in management training; in community development; in preparing and managing workshops and conferences; and in presentations, seminars and even lectures.
