Two Way Governance: Presentation 22
The facilitator:
• gets information out so that everyone
knows what’s going on and can take
part in the process.
• makes sure the meeting times suit as
many people as possible.
• is flexible about where you have a
planning workshop.
The facilitator also negotiates local
support from other agencies in the
community.
It is OK if they can only help in small
ways, because doing this gets people
involved. Then the plan and the
outcome belongs to everyone.
If your workshop is about where to site new development, it’s best to hold part of
it in a shady place outside so you can see what you’re talking about.
If it’s about fitting out houses or offices, you have it inside so you can what you
need to do on the spot .
