The Brainstorm Session; Notes for the Participant, should be read prior to a session.
The brainstorm session is a special kind of training process. Unlike many kinds of orthodox training, its purpose is not to transfer information or skills; it is aimed at the group of participants making group decisions.
It is part of a wider process of capacity building, leading to organizing for (1) decision making and for (2) action. (Of course, both facilitator and participants will learn things as a result of the session).
In this module, the brainstorm documents are separated into different web pages.
In Key Words, see "Brainstorming."
