Who is this activity for?

This activity can be used with participants with different levels of experience with both online space and creating safe spaces.

Time required

Minimum of 40 minutes.

Facilitator preparation notes

While this learning activity has the trainer/facilitator doing most of the speaking, it is also important to reiterate the safe, open and interactive space that all FTX workshops try to create. This can be done by framing this activity with guidelines that allow participants to raise their hands to ask questions or to argue or to stress or clarify a point being made in the presentation. The other way to encourage interactivity during presentation-style learning activities is to "popcorn" topics – ask a question to the group to start a topic, and then use their answers to launch a presentation/input.

In order to prepare for this learning activity, the trainer/facilitator will need to brush up on the following:
