IAF Online Facilitation SIG
At the start of the pandemic IAF had all english speaking chapters around Europe and North America moving their meetings online. I proposed to create a special interest group for all IAF members and friends to meet and improve our online facilitation.
The monthly session can run as a lean coffee (1 hour) or with a designated facilitator (2 hours). Usually the IAF social post specify that. What’s the difference?
Lean coffee style
When we do not have a designated facilitator the meeting lasts 1 hour, run as a lean coffee to share and learn about impactful online facilitation ideas, activities or tools.
With a Designated Facilitator
When we have a volunteer facilitator the meeting lasts 2h. The facilitator comes up with an interactive online session idea to facilitate. If you have an idea fill in the form!

The designated facilitator should:
- interactively share a topic, activity, workshop for about 1h30m
- practice online facilitation
- share interactively experience reports of what worked and didn’t work
