At times while facilitating group work, it's hard for the people with whom I'm working to hear me. Ultimately, that's a good thing.

Yes, I like to talk. But, when I'm facilitating well, it's not about me. It's all about you.

Transformation doesn't stop. Neither do we. play4agile 2026: From Friction to Flow (September 10โ13) is looking for Open Space Facilitators who want to help create the conditions for something real to happen. Not just a smooth event, but a space where people can actually move: from stuck to flowing, from isolated to connected, from friction to flow. If you love bringing people together, facilitating genuine co-creation, and making Open Space come alive, this is your invitation. We are looking for facilitators who have not facilitated at play4agile 2025. ๐ Who are we looking for? โจ Experienced and emerging Open Space Facilitators who embody the play4agile spirit. โจ Enthusiastic co-creators who love crafting safe, engaging, and playful spaces. โจ Facilitators for one of the three Open Space days, teaming up as a dynamic duo: one experienced Open Space facilitator paired with someone who knows Open Space well but hasn't facilitated it at p4a yet. A genuine learning experience in both directions. (Just fyi: Facilitation on Sunday is a half-day of Open Space plus the retrospective before the official closing.) โจ Folks with experience and expertise to facilitate the pre-event on Thursday afternoon. Our criteria for the pre-event emphasise a light, interactive onboarding format that bridges firsties and oldies, highlights co-design and creativity, and teaches co-creation or gamification skills in an accessible way, with plenty of room for spontaneous participation. We are looking for facilitators who can confidently lead others into gamification territory. ๐ Why join us? ๐ Skip the registration stress: As a facilitator, you have a guaranteed spot for early bird pricing. You still sign up and pay like everyone else, but no need to worry about missing out. Please fill in these questions by April 22nd, 2026. We can't wait to welcome you to the play4agile 2026 facilitator team. Let's co-design a fresh p4a experience! Your play4agile Orga Team, Bruce, Dรถrte, Katrin & Veit
What's the best way to facilitate a community discussion? Here's my answer, illustrated by a meeting that I designed and facilitated in my hometown.
