Exercises for Participation Architecture

Participation architecture exercises make sure people do something instead of just watching: contribute, practice, discuss, or decide out loud. This is one of the six Gathering Effectiveness pillars this library is organized by. Choose these exercises when a room needs an alternative to passive broadcast.

This category groups exercises by the Gathering Effectiveness pillar they strengthen.
