| Arranging
the room
A
vital piece of planning is to determine what style of layout
you would like for the room.
You
don’t have to accept how the room is delivered to
you.
You
need to think about the style of the session and also how
best to optimise communications within the group.
You
need to create a relaxed environment that will foster communications
between people.
Types
of layouts
U-Shape
This
is the most popular used layout with the facilitator working
at the open part of the U (Y).
The
beauty of this layout is that there are no natural “Hierarchy
positions” around the table for power plays!
Don’t
use this layout if there are too many people attending however.
Herringbone
This is a variation you can use when you need a U-shape
and there isn't room. Arrange two sets of tables in a herringbone
shape with chairs on the outside only. The facilitator and
equipment can face these two sets of tables.
Classroom
Style
If there is going to be lots of writing required within
the room then the classroom styler works well alternative.
This
is also good for computer based training courses where there
is a requirement to work on a PC - like WORD courses etc
Theatre
Style
Never
use this style for facilitation.
For
seminars and conferences - yes. But not when people have
to discuss and openly communicate with one another
Work
Group Style
Good
style for activity based a courses where small groups have
to work together
