Discussion Exercises
Facilitator forms one group of 6-8 and gives a particular role to each (this
should be pre-assigned), the rest of the group observes and provide comments later
on. The roles can be persons who are argumentative, disruptive, narrow focused, dominator,
listener, negative. The facilitator for this group is asked to facilitate a meeting on
"Road Safety Issues" on ______ Street, Springfield. The idea is for the group
members to act out their role and the facilitator to use different methods to address each
characteristic as they arise. The group should be pre-selected and told their roles. The
rest of the group will discuss how the characteristics and problems were addressed/can be
addressed after. |
