This post is the seventh of a seven-part series on understanding multipartiality in Intergroup Dialogue, as explained by Roger Fisher.

In this video, Roger shares answers to frequently asked questions on applying multipartial facilitation in dialogue including:

  • What is a narrative and what are the characteristics?
  • When is it appropriate for a facilitator to share their opinions and views?
  • As a facilitator, how do you handle an agent experiencing cognitive dissonance arising when they encounter a narrative that does not match their experiences or beliefs?
  • What are some techniques for getting participants to participate fully, be vulnerable, be committed, and not withdraw when the going gets rough?
  • How do these competencies translate into real-world application for participants?
  • How do you address mental health issues when they arise as a facilitator?
  • Are there any particular things facilitators should be aware of if they are members of the agent or target group?
  • What kind of growth do you see in student facilitators?
