Low participation isn’t just frustrating — it’s a warning sign. But if we understand why it’s happening, we can start designing spaces that make it easier to show up, speak up, and share the load.

⚖️Power & Dynamics. Power dynamics can show up when: • Ppl aren't empowered to speak on behalf of their org • Ppl feel unsure of their role or intimidated by others • A few dominant voices take up space • There’s a lack of diversity in the room, or microaggressions that make ppl feel unwelcome

⚙️ 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀 & 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 Sometimes, the way the group meets doesn’t support participation. Eg: • People don’t know what to expect • The format doesn’t invite input • Questions aren’t clear or feel too broad

Great to meet up with you both Lisa & Theo, thanks for coming - let's do it again in October! #facilitation #IAFmeetup

Sketch note from Facilitation conference today: facilitating for equity with a Box of Grenades and a Box of Biscuits. Disrupting and caring. Disempowering and empowering.
