Creative Facilitation- Creativity and Concept

Today we each took on the role of a facilitator and in groups of 4 or 5, had the task of gathering ideas for a John Moores festival. We came up with many different original ideas including an event where unsigned student bands have the opportunity to collaberate with real bands. Taking on the role of facilitator allowed me to realize how a team can be directed and motivated in order to produce as much original ideas as possible. Having a facilitator also insured that the group was performing to the best of it's ability and total involvement and cooperation was achieved.
