Ground rulesSetting the rules

For the success of the proceedings, it is important to set and respect basic rules in a group in order to assure a fun, pleasant atmosphere.

In keeping with the GIPA/MIPA spirit, the elaboration of the ground rules should be done with all participants. Ground rules can be revisited before each session.

Some examples of basic ground rules are: Raise your hand if you want to speak and respect others

when they are speaking. Do not cut anyone off and please respect the order of

speech. Speak for yourself only (by using “I” statements). Remember that you have all signed a confidentiality

agreement.

Parking lot The Parking Lot is a simple facilitation tool:  you

just need a poster and some sticky notes. But it enables you to send strong messages to participants of a workshop: 1. “I’ve heard you” 2. “We won’t forget” 3. “We will talk about it for sure”

At the end of the workshop or when the training day ends, take 10 to 15 minutes to review the items put in the Parking Lot with the team.

You should seek to identify: - Items that must be addressed now (AND so we do NOW) - Items that need to be addressed but not right now (so

they remain in the Parking Lot) - Items that no longer need to be addressed, that have

been covered (so we remove it…)
