Second, provide facilitation tools and training to the participants for use in multiple sectors. Learning Objectives/Participants Take Away: The ability and confidence to facilitate a diverse group of participants and greater understanding of methodologies used by other types of organizations. Materials: Snacks, lunch, colored name tags, speaker system, 6 tables, 30 chairs, 4 white boards, dry erase markers, printed facilitation checklists, scuba gear, one paper clip, ball of yarn, half of an ox horn, the pope.

Detailed Description of Activities: For the first hour at 9:00 participants receive colored name tags at reception, mingle at breakfast and then go into color groups at 9:20. During reception, there is a playlist of participants favorite songs playing in the back ground. Then participants play trivia (questions come from participants about 2010 Africa world cup). We go over ground rules (2 established by CDRA facilitators + 3 created by participants = 5 ground rules) and establish clear expectations.

Notes To My FALSCH Self (Am I walking the talk?): How does my content address issues of power and privilege in society? Does it help to build more inclusive, equitable and sustainable communities, societies and social institution? Intermingles a multi-sector and diverse group of participants and encourages collaboration and group learning as a result. Yes. How do my facilitation strategies address issues of power, privilege and participation in the session? Are we walking the talk? Our facilitation strategies utilize collective intelligence by creating smaller groups separating participants with similar organization types and personal backgrounds. For example, our first facilitation exercise is a case story where we prompt the participant with a case study example of accountability within the development sector in South Africa, a topic relevant to all participants. Their collaboration and sharing around this topic will foster participatory development.
