Standard Materials and Spatial Requirements
We assume in-person learning and the widely established practices of non-formal education as the standard. A typical setting might require the specifications listed below.
For in-person settings
- Whiteboard or flipchart, paper, markers, pens, cards and tape or self-sticking cards.
- A space big enough to arrange the group in a circle, usually without tables.
- Space for group work, ideally in different rooms, or in corners of a large room if big enough for distraction-free group conversations.
- For sharing outcomes, documentation or questions: Analogue or digital wall, board, pad, chat (e.g., an Etherpad, Pinnet or messenger group).
- Internet access and usable devices for learners.
For digital settings
- A pad, whiteboard or similar tools, e.g,. an Etherpad or Pinnet.
- A video conference tool or a combination of video conference tools enabling individual or group (breakout room) participation, e.g., BigBlueButton or Jitsi.
- Internet access and usable devices for learners.
