The Sticky Wall: a Facilitation Tool for Genuine Group Participation

This half-day day course is a practical, hands-on training to equip participants with the skills required to facilitate the Sticky Wall process.  The sticky wall is a group facilitation tool designed and developed by the Institute of Cultural Affairs. It’s a practical, low tech method for building consensus within large groups. The process is designed to be engaging, collaborative and creative. It is a simple tool that encourages genuine community participation and guides groups from the bottom-up towards a solution that the whole group owns.
