Principles of participation

Similar to any other event, there must be general principles of participation, shared before the start of the convening/event as part of the logistics advisory.

Print and distribute one copy per table or alternatively list them on a flip-chart big enough to be readable for in-person/on-site participants. For remote participants, a presentation or web page link can be shared via chat.

If the moderator/facilitator of the session is on-site they can read out loud from the flipchart and ask everyone if there is anything to add or remove/change. They will mention the link for the remote participants and invite the remote moderator to share the link in the chat.

The on-site moderator and remote moderator will then take rounds to facilitate participation and contributions from the two groups of participants: the on-site group and the remote group(s).
