Thank you to everyone who participated in my session at today’s first meetup of IAF Spain, in Barcelona for International Facilitation Week – Conectando Facilitadores y promoviendo entornos colaborativos.
In the session, I demonstrated a participatory approach for a group to review the past, to prepare for the future, by applying the ToP (Technology of Participation) Historical Scan method to to reflect and learn together from our diverse experience and perspectives on facilitating a culture of participation in organisations in Spain. I also shared some insights into the theory behind the method, and examples of the method in action.
Here I am sharing links to some resources and case studies that I mentioned during the session, and some that I didn’t, plus (below) some some tweets from the session.
