-During the co-creation of the CSAW Pilot, FoAM is conducting a series of short training and mentoring sessions for the EPFL co-creation team. The purpose of these sessions is to learn some some basics of participatory design and hosting/facilitation as well as respond to specific questions by the team and provide advice for the diverse challenges the team is facing. Each session focuses on a different aspect of process design, collaboration, participatory approaches to complex problems, etc. +----

 +**Other topics discussed during mentoring sessions**
 +  * Designing, facilitating and coordinating co-creation sessions
 +  * Clarifying the purpose, core questions and theme for the event
 +  * Connecting the purpose, the theme and the formats of the event
 +  * How to avoid Solutionism and move towards systemic interventions (including methods from complexity, systems thinking, permaculture, cooperative games, etc.)
 +  * COVID planning and working with contingencies
 +  * Feedback on the detailed event flow, programme, session and atmosphere design
 +  * Selecting participants and forming teams
 +  * Balancing learning and doing, theory and practice
 +  * Possible outcomes and deliverables (including engaging a graphic recorder to produce a compelling visual output)
 +  * Care packages and gifts for participants and speakers that reflect the theme and purpose of the event
 +  * Challenges of co-ordination of heterogeneous groups and moderation of (online) plenary discussions
 +  * Check-in and Check-out practices, including pre-performance rituals from music and performing arts
 +  * Team facilitation over multiple days, juggling diversity of feedback and consistency of support
 +  * Engaging public presentation formats e.g. Pecha Kucha, Open Lab, Fuckup Nights, Role Playing / Prehearsals, etc. 
 +  * Ongoing debriefing and feedback after co-creation and review meetings
 +  * The importance of clear and concise summaries / overviews at the beginning and end (of sessions, days, workshops), as reminders of what happened and what's about to happen. Synthesis as 'braiding' of the divergent threads and activities, a leitmotif and assurance that what the participants are doing is contributing to a collective purpose. 
 +  * Engaging with (the role of) a disruptive participant
 +  * Differences between group facilitation and team coaching
 +  * The benefits and drawbacks of time pressure, finding time in seemingly full schedules, ad-hoc flow adaptation.
 +  * The art of giving instructions
 +  * Flow, rhythm and content of a closing session
 +  * Regenerative exercises for groups with dwindling energy
 +  * The challenges of changing group dynamics (e.g. closed and public sessions, feedback sessions with external guests, etc).
 +  * After the event: decompression, debrief, individual and collective feedback, integrating insights
 +  * The importance of collective celebration
 +  * Hosting training
 +  * [[https://medium.com/thrive-global/how-to-make-uncertainty-useful-dd5102ed7a8e|How to make uncertainty useful]], on how to transform assumptions on working hypothesis in the tech business.

 +Our approach to mentoring in CSAW is based on FoAM's experience with:
 +  * [[https://libarynth.org/process_facilitation|Process facilitation]], in which we combine different participatory techniques to guide discussions and co-creation towards effective collaboration and long term thinking. 
 +  * [[https://libarynth.org/lab_approach|The Lab approach]], which creates space for groups to investigate complex real world challenges and to collaboratively develop a range of experiments through iterative action research. 
 +  * [[https://libarynth.org/futuring|Futuring]] techniques that explore problems and solutions from the vantage point of multiple futures, encouraging the participants to imagine and prototype how things could develop otherwise.
