Episode 16 part 1 Online deliberation - building group cohesion with Chad Foulkes and Viv McWaters

Facilitating Public Deliberations

This is a conversation in two parts with Chad Foulkes from Liminal by Design and Viv McWaters from Creative Facilitation, both of whom are skilled facilitators. The aim was to replicate an earlier brainstorming session that took place among a larger group of facilitators. The discussion is about how to use the ‘marginal times’ to create group cohesion online. New ideas emerged throughout the conversation, as well as recalling many that were borrowed from others.
