Facilitation tools & activities
Facilitation resources in this hub include:
- This framework presents six stages that a group can go through. This can be a useful tool for facilitators wanting to assess what stage their group is in and what interventions can be made at each stage to move the group forward. It can help you identify the overall process of your group, where you would like them to end up, and specific methods to help them get there.
- Linked to the Group Process Framework you can find activities for any type of OCEA. In this section you will find a handful of activities tackling introduction and ice-breakers, relationship building, identity, conflict resolution, critical thinking, forward thinking, youth engagement, reflection, activation, and more.
Context-Specific Resources
- Facilitation looks different and requires different tools depending on what is being facilitated, whether it is online or offline, and who the participants are. You will notice that there are separate resources for different kinds of facilitation, including dialogue, mediation, interfaith dialogue, and mental health and psychosocial support.
- You can also find information specific to designing and implementing online events or facilitating activities online. These can help you determine which facilitation tools to use, what can (or should not) be brought online, opportunities and challenges, and how best to work with your audience.
