2. We’re interested in how we help
each student to participate
One challenge is that some
students contribute more and
others less
Today is about exploring the effect

facilitation techniques
Getting your feedback on these
experiences

11. “In small groups, I’m more chilled
out. in larger groups I feel a brick
wall comes down in front of me.”
“I am much better when it is an
informal environment, with less
pressure, and when it is with
people I know.”
“When I know the people and it is a
friendly non-judgmental
environment I feel good and I am
more able to speak out.”
