Developing participatory practices for the Dungeon Master in all of us

Facilitation is hard, but we're all asked to do it. Whether it's working with students, running a learning circle, providing mentorship, or leading a book group, there are skills, practices, and techniques that can improve participants experiences without us needing to dominate or act as the expert in the room.

With support from IMLS, The Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh and Peer 2 Peer University are creating new training resources on facilitating group learning experiences in libraries, and we want your feedback and help to develop them. 

In this workshop, we'll try out some group activities, consider implementation in various environments, and reflect on our own facilitation practices. We unfortunately don't know much about D&D, but we'll look into ways to incorporate various sided dice in a way that is genuine and not gimmicky.
