Celebrating 30 years of ToP facilitation facilitation training, 1996-2026

Our first ICA:UK public ‘ToP’ facilitation training course was held in London in March 1996. One participant wrote soon after:

This is just a brief note to say how much I valued the opportunity to share in the ICA Group Facilitation Methods course last weekend, and benefit from the ideas which ICA have developed over the years. Clearly the confidence and professionalism with which the course were presented was based on proven experience and testing. There was an impressive simplicity and cohesion in both the ideas and the methods that were presented, and I warmed to that.

Certainly ‘team building’ is being taken seriously by organisations of all kinds these days. My impression is that ICA is leading the way in providing detailed methods of how this can be done at a very practical level. I am confident that there will be opportunities for me to use these methods of group facilitation here.

ICA’s specialist facilitation methodology, known since the 1980s as the ‘Technology of Participation’ or ‘ToP’, is the product of over 60 years of research, development and practice with organisations and communities worldwide.
