For morning coffee and the brief context-setting session before the participants go to the work sites, you will want to arrange seating so that everyone can see the front of the room (screen), and you, as well as each other. Try to set up the room ahead of time so you are available to greet participants as they arrive.
The participants will spend most of the day working in pairs. While they are working with paper and pencil, they will require a comfortable amount of table space to spread out on. When they are working on computer (to complete Form 5), one machine per pair of participants works well. The Workshop evaluation, Form 6, is to be completed by hand at the end of the session.
In selecting a computer lab, look for one where computers are around the room perimeter and there are large working tables in the centre of the room. This is the model typically found in a library, adult, or drop-in learning environment or centre. That way the entire Workshop can be conducted in the same room and there is no risk of losing momentum while switching venues (from workroom to computer room).
