A Guide to Facilitating Small Groups
This Guide has been written to support and equip facilitators who are working with small groups using a community organising approach. It discusses the philosophy behind our facilitation approach, explores some theory relevant to group development, gives some practical tools and ends with a list of useful phrases you could choose to make use of. Hopefully, you will find it a helpful resource for the ongoing journey we are all on to become even better facilitators.
Whilst the community organising process typically begins with a one-to-one conversation, if we are to build collective power we will need to become adept at working with both small and large groups of people. This guide focuses on the small group setting, but a lot of the theory and practical tips will be applicable in a large group as well.
