The document discusses facilitation and the roles of facilitators and coordinators. It defines facilitation as a process where a neutral party helps a group work together more effectively. A good facilitator is able to listen, deal with conflict, communicate effectively, and create a comfortable environment. They must structure meetings, encourage participation, and help resolve issues. Coordinators organize events and act as liaisons between groups and project leaders.

- There are three major elements that create the “stage” for a productive meeting. Elements of Setting the Stage: Room Arrangement Meeting Room Environment Good Beginnings
- Theater Style: Major option for large groups. Discourages interaction and sharing of ideas, indicates communication is one-way, leader to audience. Good for lectures, speeches, etc.
- Classroom Style: Can be used for small to large groups. Difficult to see other participants. Focus is toward leader/facilitator, tables encourage note taking and are more comfortable than theater style setting. Good for seminars and other meetings with limited audience contribution.
- Chevron Style: A modified classroom style which makes it easier to see other participants, more conducive to dialogue among participants than theater or classroom.
- U-shaped Style: Should have participants seated on outside only. Allows for interaction with leader and other participants, good for groups of fewer than 30 participants, reduces barrier between participants and leader, and allows for improved eye contact.
- Hollow Square and Solid Square Style: No head of table. All participants can see each other, encourages dialogue, difficult to see persons on same side of table. Best for groups fewer than 20. Discourages use of flip charts, overheads, LCD projector or other A-V materials.
- Half Rounds: Can be used with large numbers of participants, allows group at table to interact, does not facilitate interaction between tables with group as a whole, focuses attention on leader, and allows participants to see flip chart or other visual aids. Can be used with large number of participants. (Never allow participants to sit with their backs to the facilitator.)

- Windows: Natural light positively affects the work of the group and its productivity. When possible, have blinds open to allow as much light as possible. Temperature: When the temperature is too warm or too cold, it will inhibit the work of the group. Temperature between 72° F - 76º F is considered comfortable by most individuals. Remember, as the participants arrive, the temperature of the room will increase. Atmosphere: The overall appearance of the room makes a dramatic first impression for all participants. Clear, uncluttered rooms allow individuals to focus their energy on the task at hand. Add life and color to a meeting room with balloons, flowers, potted plants, posters, pictures, table covers, music, etc. It doesn’t have to be expensive. Use your creativity to create an atmosphere that energizes the participants. Food and Beverages: As groups come together, light snacks and beverages make a social environment that breaks down barriers and promotes participation. Provide water at a minimum. Coffee, tea, juice, and soft drinks are frequently provided. Try to avoid food or snacks with high sugar content because the quick burst of energy is followed by a long decrease in energy and may reduce participation. Pretzels, popcorn, muffins, and fruit are excellent snacks. Place food and beverages on a table where participants will feel free to serve themselves.
