compile a checklist of activities that need to be undertaken during each of the three sections of a dialogue meeting. The theoretical input below should merely be used by the facilitator to add to, or complete, the checklists compiled by the participants. The first step in each of the three exercises is for the facilitator to provide participants with a diagram of a dialogue meeting (see Figure 7) that divides the activities into three distinct sections. It is very important to remember that this diagram should be displayed for the duration of the training so that the facilitator can regularly refer to it.
