Not participating in activities

Some participants may withdraw from participating because they feel dominated by other participants. It’s the facilitator’s job to get them to participate by:

• Calling them out individually and directing a question/task to them.
• Assigning a set number of deliverables that they should turn in at different points of the workshop.^[1] For example, you can make it mandatory that each participant put up at least 3 ideas on the whiteboard during a brainstorming session.

Some people may not be participating because they are missing information about a particular activity or don’t fully understand it. If you find anyone not making progress, stop and help them out with the instructions and expected outcomes again.
