How to Run a Breakout Room Session

Clearly explain that two people need to volunteer to facilitate and take notes on the Harvest doc.

Facilitator

• Preferably - needs to have some experience in facilitation
• How to monitor the room for hand signals, and the chat for Stacks
• Understand the difference between hand signals:

• Know the round off hand sign and not be afraid to use it
• To actively encourage under-contributors to contribute
• To have a timer ready and set to manage each contribution

Note-taker

• Be on a device where they can access the Harvest doc and type on to it and add all contributions
• Be able to type at a certain speed and be confident to ask contributors to slow down if needed
• Be able to either succinctly feedback the key points verbally or to add these to the chat
